Two new teams, Ahmedabad and Lucknow, are online from next year in the IPL series. So all the players on the team are disbanded and the mega IPL auction is about to take place.
Prior to that, the BCCI allowed each team to retain 4 players who had already played on their team. Accordingly recently all the teams released the list of players they retained.
Former India captain Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the advisor to the Lucknow team. So the expectation on that team has increased. Lucknow team owner Sanjeev Goenka shared the reason behind Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as a consultant in this context.
In it, ‘Gautam Gambhir will do the work of inspiring the players of our team. He is about to do the job of transforming into a team that will play for a long time. Many of the young players who played under his leadership are currently playing for the Kolkata team. Currently, the Lucknow team is also looking for young players to play. He is serious about the work.
Gautam Gambhir had previously captained Kolkata in the IPL. The Kolkata team led by him has won the IPL trophy twice (2012, 2014).
