Yuvraj Singh: The buzz of IPL 2026 season has started increasing. Within a few weeks, a mini auction will be organized for the new season, in which the teams of many players will change. But before that, some franchises are also making changes in their coaching and support staff and now former Team India star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh can also enter one such team. Yes, Yuvraj, who has shown his batting, bowling and fielding skills from international cricket to IPL, can become the head coach of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL.

Preparation to bet on Yuvraj even without experience

A report by Inside Sport has claimed that the franchise is currently in discussion with Yuvraj Singh regarding coaching. However, at present these talks are at an initial stage but it is being claimed that the franchise wants to change its current coach Justin Langer because he has not been able to create the kind of connection with the local players that the franchise needs. It has been told in the report that after two consecutive foreign coaches, now the franchise wants to give this responsibility to an Indian only. This is the reason why now she is talking to Yuvraj Singh.

However, it is worth noting that Yuvraj has no experience of coaching or mentorship with any team. Nor has he been an assistant coach at any level. However, Yuvraj has been giving personal coaching, especially the names of current Team India captain Shubman Gill and young opener Abhishek Sharma, to whom Yuvraj has provided a lot of help in the last few years.

LSG is making changes again and again

Now whether things work out between Yuvraj and Lucknow or not, it will become clear in the coming days. But this also raises questions on Lucknow Super Giants because in the history of only 4 seasons, 2 head coaches have already changed. Before Langer, Andy Flower was the head coach of the team in the first two seasons. Not only this, if Langer is released from Lucknow, then this will be the second major change in the team before the new season. Just a few weeks ago, the franchise had removed former Team India fast bowler Zaheer Khan, who was made a mentor in the last season itself.
