IPL 2024: KKR vs LSG - Why is LSG wearing Maroon Jersey in today’s match against KKR? Explained

The 28th match of the Indian Premier League is played between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on 14 April, Sunday. The Mohun Bagan football club shirt will be worn by the Super Giants.
Lucknow Super Giants will be wearing the Mohun Bagan shirt, carrying on their tradition of encouraging Kolkata fans to cheer for them, even if a little. In honor of the iconic football team Mohun Bagan, which changed its name to Mohun Bagan Super Giant following its victory in the Indian Super League 2022–2023, and the Super Giants, both owned by the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group, will wear maroon and green. The ATK Mohun Bagan football team was bought by the RPSG last year, and the jersey proved to be lucky for the Lucknow squad as they defeated KKR by just one run after a Rinku Singh special. This custom began last year. Last year, Gautam Gambhir and company had a successful tournament despite the absence of KL Rahul due to an injury sustained halfway through the competition.
For the fourth time in IPL history, and for the second time at the legendary Eden Gardens, LSG and KKR will face off for the second position in the points table. KKR lost their first match of the season against Chennai Super Kings, but they’ll try to get back to winning ways as they return back to their home after three matches. Lucknow lost the recent match against Delhi Capitals at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow this week. They will be hoping to win the match with their new jersey.
