IPL 2026 – Gautam Gambhir to Make a Comeback in IPL! Here’s the Big Update

Gautam Gambhir IPL Offer: The Indian cricket team is currently performing brilliantly in the ICC T20 World Cup, winning all three of its opening matches. This credit is being given not only to the players but also to the team’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir.

Gautam Gambhir’s excellent rapport with the players and his decisions are being considered crucial. Gautam Gambhir assumed the role of head coach of the Indian team in 2026. Prior to this, he also served as a mentor for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.

As a mentor, he led KKR to the IPL trophy in 2024. This trophy is also believed to have played a role in his becoming the head coach of the Indian team. On the other hand, an IPL franchise has now made him a significant offer. If he accepts the offer, he could return to the IPL.

Will Gautam Gambhir return to the IPL?

He has been offered a contract by the Rajasthan Royals. It is believed that the Rajasthan Royals are for sale and will soon find new owners. According to a report in Dainik Jagran, Gambhir, who wants to associate Gautam Gambhir with the new owner of Rajasthan Royals, has already made not one or two, but three offers.

The owner has offered him the position of partner, mentor, and CEO of Rajasthan Royals. Gautam Gambhir is considered to have considerable experience in team management, which is why Rajasthan Royals also wants him in a major role.

All eyes are now on Gautam Gambhir, wondering if he will accept this offer. Currently, Gautam Gambhir is the head coach of the Indian cricket team, aiming to win the ICC T20 World Cup every year.

Will Ignore the Offer

It will be surprising to know that, based on the recommendations of the Lodha Committee, the Supreme Court ruled that no head coach of Team India can hold responsibilities related to the IPL. This means that he cannot be the team’s mentor, partner, or CEO.

Therefore, Gautam Gambhir is unlikely to accept Rajasthan Royals’ offer. Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the head coach of the Indian team until the 2027 ODI World Cup. He is likely to accept any offer after that.

Extension Expected

Currently, Gautam Gambhir’s tenure as head coach will last until the 2027 ODI World Cup. If India wins the ICC ODI World Cup in his role, his tenure could be extended. His coaching tenure could then extend until the 2028 Olympics. He will also be focused on leading India to a gold medal.
