Suresh Raina has hinted about joining the Lucknow Super Giants as a mentor for the IPL 2024 season

Suresh Raina, the former Indian limited over specialty hitter, is slated to join the Lucknow Super Giants as a coach. Gautam Gambhir left the Lucknow camp last month to join the Kolkata Knight Riders for the next IPL 2024 season. Aside from the commentary panel, Raina is not currently a member of any Indian Premier League team.

Suresh Raina’s response to a journalist’s tweet has created outrage among Lucknow supporters, who are eager to learn more about their new mentor. Raina’s post is also a strong indication that he would be joining the squad, and supporters are awaiting an official announcement from the franchise and the former Indian cricketer shortly. Suresh Raina has been an outstanding performer in the T20 format.

As the rumours were picking up about Suresh Raina joining the Lucknow camp soon as a mentor, a journalist was quick to respond and term this the most bogus news. After that, former Indian middle-order batter Suresh Raina also responded to the journalist with a counter question. Raina on X (formerly Twitter) replied, “Why? Your news can’t be rite (right) all the time?.”

Suresh Raina is currently a Brand Ambassador for the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association and plays an important role in the federation. He was an active participant in the Uttar Pradesh T20 (UPT20). Suresh Raina has appeared in 205 IPL games, scoring 5528 runs at an average of 32.52. His strike rate is also remarkable, standing at 136.73 with a century and 39 fifties.

Gautam Gambhir left Lucknow Super Giants last month after deciding to join the Kolkata Knight Riders. Before Gautam Gambhir, Lucknow’s head coach Andy Flower departed and joined Royal Challengers Bangalore, causing a huge turnover in their support personnel. Suresh Raina, with his impressive IPL career and local knowledge, will be a valuable addition to the Lucknow camp.
