BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: 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.
"All your anticipation ends here! The King of reverse swing, Indian legend #ZaheerKhan takes charge as the mentor of @LucknowIPL," wrote the RPSG Group, owners of the LSG franchise, on their ‘X’ account.
Zaheer will be filling in the mentor role left vacant at LSG after Gautam Gambhir's exit post IPL 2023. Gambhir later became Kolkata Knight Riders’ mentor this year, and led them to their third IPL title in Chennai. In July, he succeeded Rahul Dravid to become India men’s head coach.
