When Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on May 20, the Krunal Pandya-led team is rumoured to wear a special jersey that sees an Indian Premier League (IPL) x Indian Super League (ISL) crossover. According to reports, Sanjeev Goenka-owned LSG are likely to don a new green and maroon jersey at the iconic Eden Gardens as a tribute to the Kolkata-based Indian football club Mohun Bagan.

Dr. Goenka is also a major stake holder of The Mariners, so if rumors are to be believed, the cricket fraternity and KKR fans are in for a surprise in their final group-stage match of the IPL 2023. The LSG players usually wears a dark and light blue kit in both home and away games, but this new move might persuade some fans to support the visitors next Saturday.

The giants of Indian football ATK Mohun Bagan won the ISL title last season by defeating Bengaluru FC through a penalty shootout in the final. There were fan protests to remove 'ATK' from the club name, and Goenka declared that the squad will be renamed Mohun Bagan Super Giants for the upcoming ISL season.

Meanwhile, the battle against LSG will be crucial for KKR as they need to win at any cost to stay in the IPL 2023 playoffs race. LSG, on the other hand, have two matches left in the group stage and need to win both matches to secure their spot without relying on other teams.
