The Lucknow Super Giants are reportedly in discussions with former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan to take on the role of team mentor, a position previously held by Gautam Gambhir. With Gambhir’s departure from the franchise, the team is seeking an experienced and respected figure in the cricketing world to guide and mentor the players for the upcoming IPL season.
Zaheer Khan, known for his tactical acumen and leadership on and off the field, is considered a strong candidate to fill the void left by Gambhir. His previous experience as a mentor for the Mumbai Indians and his extensive knowledge of the game make him an ideal fit for the role.
The franchise is expected to make an official announcement once discussions are finalized. If the deal goes through, Zaheer Khan’s involvement could bring a new strategic edge to the Lucknow Super Giants as they aim to build on their performance in the upcoming IPL season.
