IPL 2020: Gambhir-DC partnership not happening as of now, says report



Former Delhi Capitals skipper Gautam Gambhirs dream of owning an Indian Premier League side will have to wait for a while as his interest to be a part of the ownership team of the Delhi franchise has failed to materialise as of now. The former India opener was said to have been eyeing a 10 per cent stake in the team which is jointly owned by GMR Group and JSW Sports.
Speaking to news agency IANS, a DC official confirmed that while talks were on, the move isn't happening as of now.
"Not happening as of now. There were talks of him coming on board and there were talks if you ask me honestly, but not happening this season 99.9 per cent. If it does happen later then that is a different story, but don't see it happening ahead of the 2020 season," the official said.
Interestingly, rumours were also doing the rounds that if not a co-owner, Gambhir might also be roped in as mentor since that position has been left vacant after former mentor Sourav Ganguly stepped down to take over as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President. But the official said nothing of the sorts was happening either. Read More
