Once again a fierce discussion has started in the IPL circles around the head coach of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir. Reports revealed that at least four leading IPL franchises are trying hard to land Gambhir in their squad ahead of the upcoming 2028 IPL season. It is reported that the respective teams are interested in appointing him as a head coach or mentor. This campaign on the future of Gambhir, who is currently serving as the head coach of Team India, has become a hot topic in cricket circles.
Gautam Gambhir will continue as the head coach of the Indian team till the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup. After that his contract extension is likely depending on the board's decision and circumstances. However, given his impressive tactical record in the IPL mega tournament, some franchises are already making moves. In particular, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals ownership representatives are rumored to have held preliminary talks with Gambhir's team. Gambhir's track record in IPL has been the most successful. While mentoring Lucknow Supergiants, he guided the team to back-to-back playoffs and later mentored KKR and played a key role in helping the team become champions after a gap of ten years.
It is because of these successes that Gambhir has been a designer that his coaching style is in huge demand among IPL franchises. However, working with any other league or IPL franchise during his tenure as the head coach of the Indian team is not possible as per the rules. So Gambhir's return to IPL will entirely depend on BCCI's decisions and future contracts. Analysts believe that his next journey is likely to be clarified only after the 2027 World Cup is over.
