Gautam Gambhir is currently the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team. Gambhir was seen as the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 and before that Gambhir was the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants. After Gambhir, there is no new mentor in the Lucknow franchise. However, now there is talk about Zaheer Khan. If media reports are to be believed, Zaheer Khan can replace Gambhir in Lucknow.
Bowling coach left the team
Let us tell you that apart from a mentor, Lucknow Super Giants also lack a bowling coach. Now the team's bowling coach Morne Morkel has also resigned. Morkel has also become a part of the coaching staff of the Indian cricket team. In such a situation, Zaheer Khan seems more fit in the role of mentor, because he can also train the team's bowlers.
According to a report, talks are going on between Zaheer Khan and Lucknow Super Giants. However, no official information has been shared on this matter yet by Lucknow Super Giants or Zaheer Khan. Now it will be interesting to see whether Lucknow Super Giants mentor the former Indian fast bowler or not.
Played all three formats for India
It is worth noting that Zaheer Khan was a fast bowler who played all three formats for India. Zaheer played international cricket from 2000 to 2014. He played 92 Tests, 200 ODIs and 17 T20 International matches for Team India. Zaheer took 311 wickets in Tests at an average of 32.94. Apart from this, the Indian fast bowler took 282 wickets in ODIs at an average of 29.43, in which his best bowling performance was 5/42. In the remaining 17 innings of T20 International, he took 17 wickets at an average of 26.35. During this time, he conceded runs at an economy of 7.63. Zaheer Khan's best bowling performance in T20 International was 4/19.
