Zaheer Khan to join Lucknow Super Giants as mentor

Zaheer Khan, the former India pacer, is set to join Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as their mentor for the upcoming IPL 2025 season. This move comes in the wake of Gautam Gambhir’s departure, who vacated the mentor role after IPL 2023 to rejoin Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and eventually become the head coach of the Indian men’s team.

Zaheer’s appointment signifies his return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) fold after a two-year hiatus. He previously held roles with the Mumbai Indians (MI), serving as the director of cricket and head of global development from 2018 to 2022. As a player, Zaheer was part of MI, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), and Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), where he played 100 matches across ten seasons, claiming 102 wickets at an economy of 7.58.

While Zaheer is primarily joining LSG as a mentor, the franchise is also keen to involve him in a broader role that includes overseeing their scouting and player development programmes during the off-season. This expanded role is crucial as LSG prepares for the upcoming mega auction.

Justin Langer, who took over as head coach of LSG from Andy Flower ahead of IPL 2024, will continue in his role. He is supported by assistant coaches Lance Klusener and Adam Voges. Despite LSG’s strong performances in their initial seasons, the team narrowly missed out on a playoff spot in IPL 2024 due to net run rate.

It remains to be seen whether Zaheer will also assume the responsibilities of LSG’s bowling coach, a position left vacant after Morne Morkel joined Gambhir’s coaching staff with the Indian team. Zaheer’s vast experience, both as a player and in coaching roles, will undoubtedly be a significant asset to LSG as they aim to secure their first IPL title.
