The Lucknow franchise have appointed Gautam Gambhir as their mentor for the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. They have also named Vijay Dahiya as an assistant coach.
'Thanks a lot to Dr Goenka and the RPSG Group for presenting me this wonderful opportunity in their setup,' said Gambhir. 'The fire to win a contest still burns bright inside me, the desire to leave a winner's legacy still kicks me 24x7.'
Gambhir played for Delhi Daredevils, now Delhi Capitals, in the first two seasons before leading Kolkata Knight Riders from 2011. He led the Knight Riders to the IPL championship in 2012 and 2014.
Lucknow, bought in auction by RP Sanjiv Goenka Group for INR 7090 Crore, have roped in Andy Flower as their head coach. Flower was a part of Punjab Kings' coaching set-up for the last two years.
