LSG To Pay Tribute to Mohun Bagan with Special Jersey Against KKR

Sorce: Twitter/Lucknow Super Giants

The Lucknow-based club will wear Mohun Bagan’s iconic green and maroon-colored shirt in their IPL encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday in Kolkata. The RP Sanjiv Goenka Group acquired the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in 2022, following the IPL’s expansion to ten teams. The RPSG Group also owns the ace football team Mohun Bagan, with a 75% ownership before the ISL 2020-21 season.

“It is (Mohun Bagan) not an institution, it’s actually an emotion. It’s legacy represents the city of Kolkata,” LSG team owner Shashwat Goenka said.

“It is with this in mind, that we have decided that LSG will don the iconic colours of maroon and green in Saturday’s match against KKR at Eden Gardens.

“It is our way of paying respect to the legacy of Mohun Bagan and to the legacy of our city.”

“Not just Mohun Bagan fans but hope all the residents of Kolkata will support us. For us, Kolkata is our home right. So, as much support as we can get, that’s what we would ask for,” Goenka added.

The announcement was made at the RPSG House, where newly appointed skipper of LSG Krunal Pandya was also present, along with wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran. After LSG’s normal leader KL Rahul was pulled out of the competition due to a thigh injury, all-rounder Krunal Pandya was named captain.

“Yes, I’m aware this year we won the (ISL) trophy as well. I’m aware of the team as well. In fact, I’m looking forward to see one of the games as well.”

“100 percent (we would have more support). Obviously, wherever we go if we get more support it will boost your confidence.

“I request all the Mohun Bagan fans to come on Saturday and support us. Hope we do well against KKR,” Krunal added.
