Rajasthan Royals Stakeholder Offers Gambhir CEO‑Partner‑Mentor Role With Equity

Supreme Court conflict‑of‑interest rules block any franchise role during his India tenure.

Overview

  • Gautam Gambhir has been approached with a triple role by a new Rajasthan Royals stakeholder, combining CEO, partner and mentor responsibilities.
  • Reports say the proposal includes a minority equity stake of roughly 2–3 percent as part of changes in the franchise’s ownership structure.
  • A Supreme Court ruling based on Lodha Committee reforms prohibits holding an IPL franchise post while serving with the Indian team, preventing acceptance unless he resigns.
  • Gambhir’s coaching contract with India runs through the 2027 ODI World Cup, and sources indicate he remains focused on the national side during the ongoing T20 World Cup.
  • Separate reports suggest he could be considered for a BCCI extension through the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, though no decision has been made.
