It is not yet clear whether Zaheer Khan will play the role of bowling coach of LSG. Morne Morkel has left the Lucknow team to join the coaching staff of the Indian team. In such a situation, Zaheer can also be seen in the role of bowling coach. Earlier, Zaheer Khan has been involved in different roles with different IPL franchises over the years.

The Super Giants have already roped in a star-studded coaching panel ahead of the 2024 edition, with Justin Langer as coach and Lance Klusener and Adam Voges as assistant coaches. LSG’s coaching set-up is currently headed by Justin Langer, who will continue in the role after taking over from Andy Flower as head coach ahead of IPL 2024.

IPL 2025 Mega Auction: SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad) will throw these 3 big names out of the team even if they don’t want to
SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. Poetry Maran. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025: These 3 big names will be out of SRH team!: The IPL 2025 mega auction is approaching, and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are looking to make some big changes to the team. SRH performed well in 2024 and finished runners-up, but this time they are all set to win the trophy. In this direction, SRH may have to release some top players even if they do not want to. Let’s know about the three key players whom SRH can drop from the team in the IPL 2025 auction. 1. Aidan Markram Aiden Markaram (Photo Source: Twitter) South African batsman Aiden Markram has been a part of SRH for the past few years and has also made a mark as the captain of SRH Eastern Cape in the SA20 League. However, his performance in IPL 2023 and 2024 has disappointed the team. His record as captain has not been good and the SRH management may consider releasing him and give a chance to new and influential players. 2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Pic Source-Twitter) Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most experienced players of SRH and played a vital role in leading SRH to the IPL title in 2016. But his form has declined in recent seasons. Bhuvi’s performance has been relatively weak after the injuries. The team may have to release Bhuvi to give a chance to young bowlers. 3. Marco Jensen Marco Jansen (Image Credit- Twitter) Marco Jensen made it to SRH on the basis of his talent, but his performance did not live up to expectations. Jensen did not perform well with the ball and bat last season, due to which SRH may release him in the auction. Why can SRH release these 3 players? Sunrisers Hyderabad wants to make a strong claim to win the title in IPL 2025. For this, they need balance and young energy in the team. Even though Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jensen have been important players for SRH, the team has to prepare itself for future challenges. Therefore, SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. This will not only set a new direction for the team but will also increase SRH’s chances of winning the title.

(Image Source: KSCA) Veteran batsman Karun Nair’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. However, he has not been seen playing for the Indian team for a long time. Karun Nair is currently participating in the Maharaj Trophy KSCA T20 2024. He has batted brilliantly in this tournament so far and has won the hearts of all the fans. Karun Nair told Sportskeeda during an exclusive conversation, ‘It feels great that this tournament has started again. All the players like to play at home and it is very close to my heart. I have many memories associated with Chinnaswamy Stadium. I started my cricketing career from here. When I went to Vidarbha from Karnataka in domestic cricket, everyone welcomed me very well. It felt like I have come back to my family after a long time. We performed very well and the team reached the finals. We could not win the finals but the performance of all the players was tremendous throughout the season. Hopefully, we will want to continue this performance in the future as well. Joining Vidarbha from Karnataka was a very different thing because both the states are very different but they did not let me feel like that. The best batsman made a big revelation about participating for Northamptonshire In the last season of the County Championship, Karun Nair was seen playing for Northamptonshire. He scored 249 runs in three matches in Division One at an average of 83. Not only this, this brilliant player scored 150 runs against Surrey. Nair further said, ‘It was a huge opportunity and every batsman wants to bat well in English conditions. This experience was really great. Ranji Trophy was really different because there was a difference in both the conditions and the ball. Everything was new here. I have scored some double centuries. I did the same this year too. It was my target to score 200 in the season and not 300 because everyone talks about my triple century against England. I hope my target is different in the next season. It is very important to keep progressing in your game and keep performing better as a player. I am also eager to make a comeback in the Indian team. However, before that it is very important for me to perform well in domestic cricket as well. For this, I will have to play different shots and also learn them. I just want to become better than before this year. My coach and RX sir have supported me a lot.
