The new Lucknow franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has roped in Gautam Gambhir in its extra staff. The two-time IPL winning skipper, who has been a vocal IPL investigator of the association, will join the team as a mentor.
The news was confirmed by Sanji Goenka on December 18. “Indeed, we have taken him,” said RP Goenka.
Gautam Gambhir’s arrangement is the second significant declaration by Goenka’s RPSG Group, which purchased the franchise for an incredible Rs 7090 crore in October.
The former skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals joins Andy Flower, who was prior named as the head coach of the side.
“It’s a privilege to be in the contest again. Thanks Dr.Goenka for incl me in #LucknowIPLTeam as its mentor. The fire to win still burns bright inside me, the desire to leave a winner’s legacy still kicks me. I won’t be contesting for a dressing room but for the spirit & soul of UP,” said Gautam Gambhir after being appointed as the mentor.
