There have been rumors of KL Rahul being the likely candidate to lead the franchise. Lucknow has announced their head coach to be Andy Flower while Vijay Dahiya has been appointed as the assistant head coach. Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the mentor for the franchise and they do have a lot of options to pick from for their retentions now.

It will be interesting to see the updates now from their Twitter handle of the Lucknow franchise which has been very active so far. The mega auction for IPL 2022 is all set to take place on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru and all eyes will be on the two new franchises.
