Bharat Arun Joins Lucknow Super Giants Amid Coaching Shake-Up

Bharat Arun, renowned for his bowling expertise, has joined Lucknow Super Giants following his departure from Kolkata Knight Riders. The official announcement is anticipated soon, as confirmed by sources close to the team.

With Arun's addition, Lucknow aims to bolster their coaching lineup after a seventh-place finish last season. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders are undergoing significant changes, with Abhishek Nayar and Dwayne Bravo assuming new coaching roles, following an eighth-place finish in 2025.

Arun, known for his strategic acumen, is expected to enhance Lucknow's bowling performance, particularly after the absence of key bowler Mayank Yadav last season. Further details regarding the contracts of mentor Zaheer Khan and head coach Justin Langer remain pending.
