After joining LSG, Zaheer praised the team for their consistent performances in recent years and expressed confidence that they would do well in IPL 2025.

“LSG are a relatively young franchise in IPL, but it has not been looked upon like that, the building blocks are pretty much in place,” Zaheer said at the media interaction at the RPSG Group Headquarters here.

“They have made a lot of progress. The consistency with reaching playoffs, which is so tough in this fiercely-contested competition, is something that gives me a lot of confidence when I’m looking at coming and contributing to the franchise’s success.”

Zaheer to work with a young pace bowling attack

Zaheer Khan will work with the young pace bowling attack of the Lucknow Super Giants. The team has some promising fast bowlers, and it will be interesting to see how the former India star helps manage them. The pace attack will likely be led by Avesh Khan, who will be aiming for strong performances to make a comeback to the Indian team.

Youngsters like Shamar Joseph, Mohsin Khan, and Akash Singh will also be eager to learn from the former left-arm pacer. Along with guiding the young bowlers, Zaheer Khan will be looking to help Lucknow win their first-ever title.
