LSG in talks with Zaheer to fill Gambhir’s void as mentor

LSG, which came into existence in 2022 — bought for Rs 7090 crore — reached the play-offs in their first two seasons. However, they missed out on a top-four spot in the 2023 edition due to an inferior Net Run Rate (NRR). LSG’s looking to strengthen their coaching setup is evident and Zaheer’s potential inclusion would be a brilliant strategic move. Zaheer has had an extensive experience in guiding young cricketers, particularly with Mumbai Indians, makes him a valuable asset.
