Rajasthan Royals sent 3 offers to Gambhir- Report
According to the report of Dainik Jagran, a proposal has been sent to Gautam Gambhir to make him partner, mentor and CEO. This proposal has been sent to him by one of the three new owners of Rajasthan Royals. According to the report, Gambhir has not accepted this proposal and it does not seem possible for him to accept it. Let us know the reason behind this.
Why won’t Gautam Gambhir accept RR’s offer?
Gautam Gambhir’s contract with Team India as head coach is till the 2027 World Cup. Now, if he accepts the proposal of Rajasthan Royals while being in this role, then it will be considered as a conflict of interest. According to the decision of the Supreme Court which came after the recommendations of the Lodha Committee, a person cannot become the partner, CEO and mentor of any IPL franchise along with being an Indian coach.
It is clear that if Gautam Gambhir wants to join Rajasthan Royals then he will have to leave Team India. However, Jagran wrote in its report that sources related to Gambhir have refused to say anything about this.
Gambhir has been successful as a mentor
Gambhir’s tenure as a mentor in IPL has been excellent. While being a mentor, he made Kolkata Knight Riders the champion. Under his mentorship, the new IPL team Lucknow Super Giants also performed well and reached the playoffs. It is possible that Rajasthan Royals might have proposed to join Gautam Gambhir after seeing his similar history.
