Zaheer Khan is currently the mentor of LSG in IPL 2025, and is working hard with Rishabh Pant to take the franchise forward. He is one of the finest bowlers to play for India, and has helped quite a lot of young players over the years.

Zaheer Khan Continues To Grow As A Coach

He was associated with Mumbai Indians as a Global Head Of Cricket Development, and thus has developed a good understanding and experience of taking the franchise to bigger heights. Now, the next step could be the Indian team, and in a recent chat with RevSportz' Boria Majumdar, Zaheer Khan talked about his ambitions to coach India.

Boria Majumdar asked him whether he would like to coach India, to which Zaheer Khan replied that he would not apply. However, if he is asked to do so, it would be an honour to coach the Indian team.

"It would be an honour to coach Team India."

Zaheer Khan Opens Up about Importance Of IPL

Zaheer Khan also touched on the importance of IPL in the growth of Indian cricket and stated that lot of uncapped players have benefitted from the league. He stated that the uncapped players benefit both financially and with the expeirence of other international stars, and it has helped Indian cricket create a pool and dominate.

“Earlier, due to limited opportunities, talented players would drift away from the game. But now, many more are staying and chasing the dream of playing for an IPL franchise. That dream helps them in their journey to the national team. When you enter the dressing room, you’ll always see uncapped players eager to learn. They are constantly chatting with players like Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, or any other senior cricketer with international experience. All of this is so important for Indian cricket to keep dominating. Working with such players gives me true fulfilment.”

Lucknow Super Giants, where Zaheer Khan has teamed up with the likes of Justin Langer and Rishabh Pant, have won two and lost two.
