Former India left-arm fast-bowler Zaheer Khan has been appointed as mentor of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), in a formal event held at the RPSG Group Headquarters in Kolkata on Wednesday. Zaheer assumed the role of Lucknow Super Giants team mentor and termed it the start of something “very, very special” for the franchise that failed to win the IPL despite reaching the playoffs twice in three seasons.
Under former team mentor Gautam Gambhir, the team made successive playoffs after making their debut in 2022. But, after the departure of Gambhir, LSG struggled to replicate their success this season, and finished a lowly seventh.
“LSG are a relatively young franchise in IPL, but it has not been looked upon like that, the building blocks are pretty much in place,” Zaheer said at the media interaction at the RPSG Group Headquarters here.
“They have made a lot of progress. The consistency with reaching playoffs, which is so tough in this fiercely-contested competition, is something that gives me a lot of confidence when I’m looking at coming and contributing to the franchise’s success.
