After losing against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the last match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Eden Gardens in Super Sunday Match 28. It will be last year’s revenge for the KKR. Currently, KKR is in the second position of the table with a +1.528 run rate.
LSG, On the other hand, secured 6 points in 5 games. They lost against Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last home encounter. They are in 4th spot with a +0.436 run rate.
On Saturday, the Lucknow franchise declared on social media that they would change the colour of their shirt for the KKR encounter. The new jersey design was also announced through a social media statement.
However, this endeavour in Lucknow is not new. Rather, the Super Giants also met KKR in the green-maroon shirt at Eden last year. Lucknow’s main jersey colour in that match was maroon. It had a tint of green. This time, the green-maroon side will be more visible.
Last year’s jersey change at Eden proved fortuitous for Lucknow. LSG defeated KKR by one run. This year, however, KKR has been in excellent form from the start of the competition.
It will be challenging to defeat KKR in their home ground this time. Now we’ll see if the prayers of Mohun Bagan fans can help LSG win the match again.
