Yuvraj Singh Works With Rishabh Pant as LSG Photo Triggers Pre‑IPL Speculation

The one-on-one session has revived talk of a formal role following LSG’s recent backroom reshuffle.

Overview

Lucknow Super Giants posted a training photo of Pant with Yuvraj captioned “IPL 2026, get ready,” prompting widespread attention.
Multiple reports describe Yuvraj mentoring Pant in the nets ahead of the new season, focusing on the captain’s batting approach.
Times Now reports there is no announcement of a coaching appointment, with the session viewed as a personal workout rather than a confirmed hire.
Insidesport notes LSG held serious talks with Yuvraj last year for a senior role, but those discussions did not lead to a deal.
LSG have revamped support staff in recent weeks, parting with mentor Zaheer Khan and adding Bharat Arun, Carl Crowe, and strategic advisor Kane Williamson, with Justin Langer involved in preparations.
