IPL Franchise Prepares 'Mega Offer' To Lure Gautam Gambhir For CEO's Role: Report (2026)

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is abuzz with the potential arrival of a legendary figure as a CEO. According to reports, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) franchise is preparing a 'mega offer' to entice none other than Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian cricket captain and current head coach. But here's where it gets controversial... Gambhir's current contract with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to expire after the 2027 ODI World Cup, and the 'one man, one post' rule may prevent him from accepting the offer. This rule, based on the Lodha Committee recommendations, strictly prohibits individuals from holding positions with both the national side and an IPL franchise simultaneously. But what if Gambhir were to step down from his role as head coach? This is the part most people miss... The former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) coach has a proven track record of success, having helped KKR lift three titles and LSG qualify for the playoffs in both of his seasons as mentor. So, is Gambhir's departure from the Indian team imminent? And if so, what does this mean for the team's future? The answer lies in the hands of the Supreme Court, which will ultimately decide the fate of this potential power move in the IPL.
