IPL 2023: LSG to wear Mohun Bagan football club-inspired jersey

Lucknow Super Giants will wear a jersey inspired by Mohun Bagan Football Club in their final league match of the IPL against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 20.

The announcement was made at Kolkata’s RPSG House in the presence of LSG stand-in captain Krunal Pandya and wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran. Sanjeev Goenka, the owner of both LSG and Mohun Bagan Football Club, stated that LSG will pay tribute to Mohun Bagan.

During a press conference in which the jersey was shown, Sanjeev Goenka said, “It is our way of paying respect to the legacy of Mohun Bagan and to the legacy of our city. Mohun Bagan is an institution, and we are paying tribute to the century-old institution this Saturday when we will play against KKR. We will don the iconic Green and Maroon of Mohun Bagan this Saturday.”

“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,” he added.

On June 1, 2023, the club will be renamed Mohun Bagan Super Giant.
Mohun Bagan SG, also known as Mohun Bagan Super Giant, is a Kolkata-based Indian professional football club. Since 2020-21, the club has competed in the Indian Super League, the top flight of Indian football.

The Lucknow Super Giants are currently third in the IPL league table. They have won seven and lost five of their thirteen matches. They have 15 points and if they win against KKR, they will move into second place and may even qualify for the IPL Play-offs.
