LSG: It has been just a few hours since IPL 2025 has ended, but now, many franchises have gathered fast to make changes in their team. She has already started strengthening the team for the next season. Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) who spent crores of rupees on many such faces this season, but they did not get the expectation as expected. In such a situation, now before the next season, the team may or may not make changes in the captaincy, but a legendary player has started to get out of his team.
The veteran we are talking about here is none other than the Mentor Zaheer Khan of Lucknow Supergiants (LSG), on whom questions are now being raised because Lucknow Supergiants did not make their place in the playoffs of IPL 2025 and finished seventh in 14 matches and finished seventh. Team captain Rishabh Pant, who was bought for 27 crore rupees, could not do anything special this season. Let us tell you that for the first time this season, Lucknow Supergiants appointed Zaheer Khan as a mentor.
But his contract contract was 1 year old, but if the franchise was satisfied with his performance, his contract would have been carried forward, but it does not seem so. The franchise is not in favor of advancing this agreement with them. In fact, Zaheer Khan, along with Pant, gave the team a strategy to play aggressive and fearless cricket, but the injury and poor form of players worked to impress this view a lot.
This season, Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) showed the kind of performance, Sanjeev Goenka, the owner of the team, looked upset in every match. Many times, he was also seen talking to the player very angry. This is the reason that now before the next season, he has started making a new strategy, where it seems that in view of the performance of the team, now the owner Sanjeev Goenka’s fascination with Zaheer Khan has been disturbed.
This is the reason why he is not going to consider moving forward with them. A feeling of dissatisfaction is visible within the team and management at this time, due to which it is certain that some change will be certain.
This season, whether captain Rishabh Pant or the players of the team could not show the game that was expected but still mentor Zaheer Khan always supported the captain and when he scored a century at the end of this season, Zaheer still supported him. Let me tell you that Zaheer Khan was associated with the Mumbai Indians franchise from 2018 to 2022, who was the cricket director of this franchise and then worked as the head of global development.
