Lal is also a cancer survivor. The former player was detected with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare type of salivary glands cancer, but he overcame the disease.
After retiring from cricket, Lal used to feature as a commentator during cricket matches. He was known to share the box with his colleagues and used to do commentary in Hindi. Currently, he is the mentor of the Bengal Ranji team and coaches the batting department. He was the hero of Bengal's Ranji Trophy triumph in 1989-90. Under Lal, Bengal made the Ranji Trophy final in 2020 after a long gap of 13 years.
Lal has former Bengal off-spinner Sourasish Lahiri as his deputy. The knockout leg of Ranji Trophy will resume post-IPL in June.
