MUMBAI: After a four-year stint with Kolkata Knight Riders, cricket's greatest allrounder Jacques Kallis has renewed ties with the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise to become its mentor and batting consultant from the coming season. According to reports, this could be a long-term role.

Kallis spent the last four seasons with the Knights - a successful stint - during which the franchise won two IPL titles (2012 & 2014) and finished runners-up in the Champions League T20 in October.

"KKR has been my Indian family for the last four years. I have built fantastic relationships with the management and players and have been very fortunate to assist KKR in winning two IPL titles," Kallis said, talking about his relation with the Knights.

The all-rounder bid goodbye to all forms of the game this year and said that while doing so he had the chance to think about his future. "When KKR approached me with this long-term offer, I jumped at it. It is a great brand and I am really looking forward to assisting them in my new role," the South African said.

Confirming the development, Knight Riders CEO Venky Mysore added "We are honoured to start a long term relation ship with Jacques in a role as mentor and different role as mentor and batting consultant.

"Jacques' commitment to KKR has been brilliant and his contribution both on the field and in the dressing room has been superb. We are delighted to continue the association."

Kallis had signed a two-year contract with Sydney Thunder for 2014 and 2015 and is also committed to playing in the Caribbean Premier League next year."These commitments were made prior to concluding my new role at KKR," the cricketer-turned-mentor said.
