IANS had previously reported on Wednesday that Arun was set to join LSG set-up after wrapping up a four-year stint at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to join the Lucknow Super Giants, a franchise that reflects professionalism, ambition, and vision at every level. My conversations with Dr. Sanjiv Goenka and the management were incredibly energizing \u2014 there is a clear intent to invest in young Indian talent and build a long-term legacy,\u201d said Arun in a statement issued by the franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arun had joined KKR ahead of 2022 season, where he as a member of the franchise\u2019s 2024 IPL winning team. He had two stints with the Indian team as their bowling coach - from 2014 to 2015, and from 2017 to 2021 T20 World Cup, where he played a huge role in shaping the fast-bowling revolution in the men\u2019s team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He now joins the LSG coaching set-up which currently features mentor Zaheer Khan, head coach Justin Langer, and assistant coach Lance Klusener. \u201cWhat excites me most is the vision for long-term development. LSG has invested in a young, talented, and dynamic group of Indian fast bowlers \u2014 Akashdeep, Avesh Khan, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, Mohsin Khan, and Akash Singh \u2014 and I see immense potential in each of them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
