In anticipation of the IPL 2025 season, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have named veteran Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan as their team’s mentor. Zaheer’s addition, according to LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, could greatly improve the team’s chances.
In their three years of existence, LSG has made it to the playoffs twice despite being a very young team, however the IPL championship has eluded them. Goenka expressed his joy at having Zaheer join the team.
“I was drawn to bring him on board by his consistent victories and his intense drive for achievement. I got in touch with him a few weeks ago after realising he wasn’t connected to any cricket team. We discussed, made a decision, and are now in this position. It really is that simple and quick. “We are ecstatic to have him on board and think he will do wonders for LSG’s future,” Goenka recently told the media.

An integral part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad, Zaheer has played a significant role in the IPL throughout the years. As the Director of Cricket Operations, he was once employed by the Mumbai Indians and played a crucial role in their coaching staff.
Renowned for his capacity to guide emerging talent, the former pacer conveyed his enthusiasm for the new position. He recognised the potential on the LSG team and the group’s common goal for the future of the franchise.

“LSG is a youthful team, but despite that, they deserve praise for their solid foundation and regular playoff appearances in a very difficult league. Our vision for LSG’s future is similar in that it emphasises upholding cricketing ideals and advancing an engaging brand of the game. The former pacer declared, “My goal is to make sure every player can realise their best ability and help the team win.
