Former India opener Gautam Gambhir was on Saturday appointed mentor of the new Lucknow franchise ahead of IPL-15. The southpaw, who is also a Member of Parliament, had captained KKR to two IPL titles during his playing days.


“The fire to win a contest still burns bright inside me, the desire to leave a winner’s legacy still kicks me 24x7. I will not be contesting for a dressing room, but for the spirit and soul of Uttar Pradesh,” Gambhir said in a statement.


Owner of the yet-to-be-named franchise, Sanjiv Goenka welcomed Gambhir into the RPSG family. “Gautam has an impeccable career record. I respect his cricketing mind and look forward to working with him,” he said. Gambhir, 40, has played 58 Tests, 147 ODIs and 37 T20Is for India.
