For me personally, he is like family and will remain family. Sanjeev Goenka further talked about IPL retention, he said that there is enough time and a decision has to be taken carefully as the future of the team depends on it. We have the entire time of September, October and November to take a decision. We should wait for the retention policy to come.

Let’s see, there is enough time, whatever decision we take today will have an impact on the future, so a decision has to be taken after a lot of thought and consideration.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan is all set to take over as the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of IPL 2025, although the franchise is yet to make an official announcement. 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. He contributed as a player in this league for 10 seasons from 2008-2017. In his last edition, Zaheer also captained Delhi Daredevils. He remained the Director of Cricket and Head of Global Development of Mumbai Indians from 2018-2022. LSG franchise is ready to give a big role to Zaheer Khan According to a report in ESPN Cricinfo, LSG is keen to give the former Indian cricketer (Zaheer Khan) a bigger role, including scouting and player development. 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. Lance Klusener and Adam Voges will be the assistant coaches of the team. After securing playoff berths in their first two seasons, the KL Rahul-led side fell short on net run rate to make it to the top four in 2024.
There is a fierce battle going on between SRH, LSG and RR over the ownership of Yorkshire
For some time now, the county club has been struggling for funds and has faced a lot of problems. ECB and Yorkshire Club (Pic Source-X) In 2023, IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals were very close to sealing the deal for Yorkshire’s ownership with a bid of £25 million. Let us tell you, for some time now the county club has been struggling a lot for funds and has faced a lot of problems. The deal was almost completed but the deal fell apart after Colin Greaves became the chairman again in 2024. Yorkshire is back in a bad shape again. The county club has called in private investors and Rajasthan Royals have again shown interest in the deal. Rajasthan Royals have again proposed a deal through additional borrowing rather than direct investment. Let us tell you, the club’s £15 million debt will not be cleared as they will still have to pay the amount borrowed by the Royals. The county club has refused the deal as they do not want to replace the debt with another one at all. However, the IPL franchise has not given up and is still in talks to take over the club. Amidst all this, two other corporate groups have also shown interest. Sun Group, which owns Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL and Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20, has expressed its desire to pay £50 million to Yorkshire. This price is double the amount that Rajasthan Royals had initially offered. However, no confirmation has been made by the county club regarding this deal as Yorkshire is talking to other parties as well. One of them is the Goenka Group, which owns the Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League and the Durban Super Giants in the SA20. According to Wisden, they have not yet placed any bid and talks are going on between the two. The Goenka Group initially wanted to acquire the Hampshire club but the GMR Group, co-owners of the Delhi Capitals, won the deal with an offer of £120 million. Whoever takes over the Yorkshire club will also own the Headingley Cricket Ground Let us tell you, whichever group acquires the Yorkshire club will also own the Headingley Cricket Ground. According to the report, the deal is expected to be completed in this calendar year as many Indian businessmen have shown interest in buying the county club and The Hundred franchise. The England and Wales Cricket Board has invited several Indian businessmen to participate in The Hundred and discussions for the same are yet to take place.

VVS Laxman may soon join Lucknow Super Giants in IPL: Reports
Recently, Laxman coached Team India on the Zimbabwe tour. VVS Laxman (Image Credit- Twitter X) According to the latest media reports, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have approached former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman to join the team’s coaching staff for IPL 2025. Although the 55-year-old Laxman is currently the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), it is quite likely that he will not renew his contract which expires in September 2024. It is worth noting that when Rahul Dravid’s tenure with Team India as head coach ended, BCCI was about to make Laxman the new coach of Team India, but he turned down this offer. Laxman cited personal reasons behind this and said that he cannot travel with the team for 10 months. Also, let us tell you that Laxman has a lot of experience in coaching in IPL. VVS Laxman was associated with the one-time champion Sunrisers Hyderabad for a long time. Apart from this, considering Laxman’s experience and skill, any IPL team can include him in the team’s management group. Justin Langer may be sacked Before the start of IPL 2023, Lucknow Super Giants appointed former Australian player Justin Langer as the head coach. However, before the upcoming season, there is a possibility that the franchise may part ways with Langer. On the other hand, Laxman can join LSG as a batting coach, mentor or head coach. Also, as NCA head, VVS Laxman can be replaced by former Indian cricket team batting coach Vikram Rathore, who has been associated with Indian cricket since 2012. Recently, Laxman was seen coaching during the five-match T20 series on Team India’s Zimbabwe tour, where India won 4-1 against the host team.

From there he joined the team and then we connected with each other. Langer further said- When I reached there, he translated my conversation, and his family smiled. His family made me feel very welcome. They felt proud to have us in their house. 6 of them were wearing clean clothes, and when it came to the photo, RC’s parents hugged us. It was a very family feeling. On the other hand, if we give you information about Langer, he was appointed the head coach of the team before the start of IPL 2024.

IPL 2024: LSG reveals the secrets of its three Musketeers, the young players had a lot of fun together
For Lucknow, young fast bowlers Mayank Yadav and Yash Thakur won the hearts of many by bowling brilliantly. Yash Thakur With Mayank Yadav and Prerak Mankad (Pic Source-X) Lucknow Super Giants’ performance in the Indian Premier League 2024 was not so good and the team could not qualify for the playoffs this season.

Talking about Yash Thakur, he took 11 wickets in 10 matches this season. Lucknow Super Giants has shared a video on its official social media account in which Yash Thakur can be seen praising Mayank Yadav and Prerak Makad. All three are very good friends and the team has given them the tag of ‘Three Musketeers’. Here’s the video: Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants failed to leave a mark in the 2024 season. However, the team will look to make a comeback in the 2025 season and would definitely like to win the trophy for the upcoming season. There were many players from Lucknow whose performance was quite good in the 2024 season. Not only this, captain KL Rahul also scored important runs for his team. Yash Thakur took wickets at regular intervals for his team this season. However, the rest of the fast bowlers failed to show good performance. If Mayank Yadav had not been injured during the 2024 season, perhaps Lucknow would have also qualified for the playoffs this season.

In the conversation after the match, LSG captain KL Rahul talked about the performance of this season. He said that at the beginning of the season he believed his team was a strong team. However, he said that injuries to fast bowlers Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan as well as the withdrawal of England fast bowlers Mark Wood and David Willey before the tournament due to personal reasons proved to be a big blow to the team. We could not play unitedly – KL Rahul KL Rahul said, at the beginning of the season I really felt that we had a strong team and most of the bases were covered. There were some injuries, which happens to every team every season. But those injuries and the guys that left really hurt us a little bit. The wicketkeeper-batsman said that we did not play well together. When the bowlers bowled well, the batsmen did not bat well. We were not able to unite as much as we wanted. Mumbai got its 10th defeat of the season Talking about the match, Lucknow Super Giants, batting first, scored a huge score of 214 runs with the help of half-centuries from Nicholas Puran (75) and KL Rahul (55).

MI vs LSG Match Prediction: Who will win today’s (17 May) match between Mumbai and Lucknow?
MI vs LSG Match Prediction: In the 67th match of IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians will face Lucknow Super Giants on May 17 at the Wankhede Stadium. LSG vs MI (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) MI vs LSG Match Prediction: In the 67th match of IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians will face Lucknow Super Giants on May 17 at the Wankhede Stadium. MI has already been out of the tournament this year. This has been a bad campaign for him so far. After the embarrassing defeat to SRH, the team suffered a huge blow from which it has still not been able to recover. DC’s defeat on Wednesday further increased that sadness. If they win against Mumbai Indians, they will move to 14 points and need other results in their favor to make it to the playoffs. The defeat against Delhi has almost eliminated them from the tournament. MI vs LSG: Who won Last match? Both the teams had faced each other once this season where Lucknow had won by 4 wickets. In that match played at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Mumbai, batting first, scored 144 runs at the loss of seven wickets. In reply, Lucknow Super Giants achieved the target with four wickets remaining. MI vs LSG Match 67: How will the Wankhede pitch be? The pitch at Wankhede Stadium generally seems to provide more support to the batsmen. Here the fast bowlers get good bounce and movement in the beginning. Due to dew at night, the chasing team will get advantage here. Whichever team wins the toss here can decide to bowl first. The average score of the first innings on this pitch is 162.
