LSG) Former India cricketer and mentor of Lucknow Super Giants Zaheer Khan reunited with an old fan after 20 years. During the TVS Cup Test series match between India and Pakistan in 2005, a fan with 'I love you Zaheer' placard went viral. As teammate Yuvraj Singh teased Zaheer, the India pacer blew a return kiss to the fan, leaving her blushing.

The video of Zaheer Khan's reunion was shared by the Lucknow Super Giants. As Zaheer joined LSG, he was greeted by the same fan with 'I love you Zaheer' placard which left the former pacer stunned.

Meanwhile, Zaheer Khan replaced Gautam Gambhir as LSG mentor. Gambhir had parted ways with LSG to join Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for IPL 2024. The former India cricketer later took over as India head coach after leading KKR to their third IPL title. Zaheer will also serve as the bowling coach for the Lucknow Super Giants. "If I am there in the set-up, does the team need another bowling coach?" Zaheer had said.

After joining LSG, Zaheer had praised the team for consistent performances over the last few years, and backed them to do well in the 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.

Rishabh Pant To Lead LSG Meanwhile, LSG will be led by Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025. Pant was roped in by the franchise in the auction for 27 crore, thus becoming the most expensive player in IPL history. The move came after KL Rahul decided to part ways. LSG did not have a great outing in IPL 2024 and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
