LSG To Wear Special Mohun Bagan Jersey In Match Against KKR At Eden Gardens

Ace football club Mohun Bagan is also owned by the RPSG Group as they have a majority stake before the ISL 2020-21 season.

The Lucknow-based franchise in the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League 2023 will be donning Mohun Bagan's fabled green and maroon-colored jersey in their IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata on Saturday. Lucknow Super Giants is owned by the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group, which got the team in 2022 after IPL's expansion to 10 teams. Ace football club Mohun Bagan is also owned by the RPSG Group as they have a majority stake 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.

It was at the  RPSG House where the announcement was made and LSG's newly made skipper Krunal Pandya also marked his presence alongside wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran. All-rounder Krunal Pandya was assigned the captaincy role after LSG’s regular skipper KL Rahul was ruled out from the tournament because of a thigh injury.

"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.
