Every team is enjoying fan interaction ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2024. At one such open event, spectators gathered to watch the Lucknow Super Giants coaching staff dance to Indian song melodies. Some of the fans joined Jonty Rhodes and Justin Langer on stage as they danced to a Daler Mehndi song in Lucknow.
Despite Rhodes’ significant contribution to the LSG coaching staff, Langer took Andy Flower’s place as the team’s head coach for the forthcoming campaign. Having led Western Australia’s Perth Scorchers in the BBL and Australia in the past, the 53-year-old boasts an accomplished coaching resume. The traditional Punjabi song “Haayo Rabba” was played as the fans welcomed him.
