Sometimes, a player could change his career if he gets the proper mentorship. A few cricketers might expect that under Zaheer Khan, who is likely to become the next Mentor of LSG. Here, we take a look at the list of three out-of-favour Indian pacers who might want to resume their IPL career under Zaheer Khan at LSG.
1) Deepak Chahar
At least in the T20 format, Deepak Chahar was once seen as the long-term option for Team India. However, since IPL 2022, Deepak has been struggling a lot. Especially with his fitness, he has been unlucky.
Deepak could want to move elsewhere so that he could restart his IPL career. Sometimes, such players could turn their careers around with the right people around them. Deepak might want to make that happen with Zaheer at LSG.
2) Navdeep Saini
Navdeep Saini is one of the out-of-favour Indian pacers who might want to resume their IPL career under Zaheer Khan at LSG. Not long ago, Navdeep was one of the best pacers in the IPL. He was also a go-to option in the deathovers. However, his stocks have come down in value in recent seasons.
Across formats, Saini is struggling. He is in need of the right mentorship to get him back on track. Yes, LSG already has Mayank Yadav but Saini could be another option with raw pace and hit-the-deck skills. Hence, he is on this list.
3) Umran Malik
Umran Malik has not had a good last two seasons in the IPL. He spent most of his time on the bench. Even in the chances that he got, Umran was not in the best touch. The same is happening at the domestic level, too.
He might be in need of some guidance from the right people. Definitely, he will also want to move to a different franchise. If Zaheer Khan is at LSG, Umran could prefer a stint there to get the best guidance.
