The Lucknow Super Giants have announced the appointment of former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan as their mentor for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. Khan, renowned for his expertise and experience in the game, will bring valuable insights and strategic guidance to the team. His role will be crucial in shaping the squad and planning for the auction, aiming to bolster the Super Giants’ prospects in the next season of the Indian Premier League.
Zaheer Khan Became the New Mentor of LSG:
Zaheer Khan will fill the role vacated last season when Gautam Gambhir, now the head coach of India, took up the mentorship position with Kolkata Knight Riders. Under Gambhir’s guidance, KKR clinched the title, while the Lucknow Super Giants ended their third IPL season in seventh place. Khan’s appointment aims to bring fresh strategic insights and leadership to the Super Giants as they look to improve their performance in the upcoming IPL season.
Zaheer Khan’s new role with the Lucknow Super Giants marks his return to IPL management after a two-year hiatus. Previously, he served as a key figure with the Mumbai Indians, contributing for five seasons from 2018 to 2022. His extensive experience and strategic acumen will now support the Super Giants as they prepare for the IPL 2025 mega auction, aiming to strengthen their team and enhance their performance in the upcoming season.
Zaheer Khan initially served as the director of cricket with the Mumbai Indians before advancing to the position of head of global development within the franchise. His transition through these roles highlights his growing influence and expertise in cricket management, paving the way for his new role with the Lucknow Super Giants.
The Lucknow Super Giants are currently without a bowling coach following Morne Morkel‘s departure. The former South African pacer left the position to join the coaching staff of the Indian men’s national team. This vacancy highlights a key area the Super Giants will need to address as they prepare for the upcoming season.
