Founders' Vision: Why Gaurav Sachdeva and Rohit Bawri Built Rise T20
The league's co-founders explain why India's 30+ cricket community deserved a franchise stage of its own.
18 May 2026

Rise T20 is founded by two entrepreneurs who paired franchise-cricket experience with a shared conviction that the 30+ community deserved a real league of its own.
Gaurav Sachdeva, an entrepreneur with a long track record in franchise cricket, has helped build and run teams across several global legends leagues. Rohit Bawri brings 18+ years of entrepreneurial experience across medicine, real estate, and exports.
Together, they're building a league that gives amateur players a genuine professional stage — with a franchise model designed for lasting staying power.
