As per reports, Zaheer Khan is set to become the next Mentor of Lucknow Super Giants. Until recently, Zaheer was associated with Mumbai Indians. Hence, he would share a good bond with many of the players. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three Mumbai Indians cricketers Zaheer Khan can target if he becomes the Mentor of LSG.
1) Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is one of the Mumbai Indians cricketers Zaheer Khan can target if he becomes the Mentor of LSG. He would be an extremely useful signing especially if LSG releases KL Rahul as per the reports.
Rohit could become the captain and the opener. Importantly, LSG needs to acquire more fans and it could happen through Rohit’s wide fan following. Also, Rohit is in great form and he will surely add value in the next few years. Some of the youngsters could also be groomed under him.
2) Tilak Varma
If you take a look at MI’s squad, it could be hard to retain Tilak Varma. The player, though, will be extremely sought by most franchises. He is young, a left-handed middle-order batter and can play spin well. Plus, he can also offer a few overs of off-spin.
LSG would like this profile. They would also have a future superstar. All these factors could help the franchise in the long run. Hence, they could target the cricketer for IPL 2025 and beyond.
3) Akash Madhwal
LSG currently does not have a specialist for the death overs. It was at Mumbai Indians that Akash did well at the death. Yes, he was out of form last season but that happens with most players.
Now, Zaheer Khan would have surely had an influence on Akash’s rise. He is a player whose potential can be tapped. Hence, Zaheer could target him again.
