Gautam Gambhir<\/a> has reportedly been approached by IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals<\/a> to come on board as CEO, mentor and partner. Gambhir, a two-time World Cup winner, is currently involved with the Indian men\u2019s cricket team in the capacity of head coach.<\/p>\n

According to a report in Dainik Jagran<\/em>, 2008 IPL champions RR are currently in the process of undergoing ownership change and one of the new three stakeholders has offered Gambhir a minority equity stake \u2013 believed to be in the region of 2-3 per cent \u2013 in the franchise.<\/p>\n

Gambhir boasts of a successful IPL record both as a player and mentor. He has been at the centre of Kolkata Knight Riders\u2019 three IPL triumphs \u2013 twice as a captain and once as mentor. Additionally, during his two-season stint with Lucknow Super Giants, also as a mentor, the franchise finished third on the points table and qualified for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Why Gambhir Cannot Accept The Offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It though is unlikely that Gambhir will end up joining the franchise for the time being thanks to his association with the Indian men\u2019s cricket team.<\/p>\n

As per the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling based on the Lodha Committee recommendations, an individual cannot simultaneously hold a position with the Indian team and be associated with an IPL franchise (in roles such as mentor, partner or advisor) since it constitutes a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n

Should Gambhir accept the RR offer, he will have to step down as India head coach.<\/p>\n

Gambhir Committed To Team India<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per reports, Gambhir\u2019s current contract with the Indian team runs through the 2027 ODI World Cup and he remains fully committed to the national team.<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s currently busy with overseeing India\u2019s title defence at the ongoing 2026 T20 World Cup<\/a> where they have already qualified for the Super 8 round, it\u2019s expected he will also be at the helm of affairs when cricket makes its return to the Olympics in the T20 format at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.<\/p>\n
