Will Greg Chappell be reunited with his alter ego, Rahul Dravid

Will Greg Chappell be reunited with his alter ego, Rahul Dravid? A report in the Kolkata-based Telegraph says Chappell is being wooed by the Royal Challengers of Bangalore. Chappell and Dravid were master and commander of the Indian team, working closely to oversee a phenomenal streak in ODIs and Tests before things went pear-shaped and coach and captain quit within months of each other. Chappell is back in India, heading the Rajasthan Cricket Association’s academy in Jaipur and the initial buzz was that he would coach the Jaipur team. That job has gone to Shane Warne, who will also captain the side, but the Telegraph says Chappell may come over to Bangalore, where he will be greeted by other familiar faces - Anil Kumble, Wasim Jaffer and Zaheer Khan. Nor will he be a stranger to the city – this is where he was based during his tenure as India coach.
