IPL 2023: LSG Unveils Official Jersey for the Upcoming Season

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday, March 7, officially unveiled their latest jersey for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023). The dark blue-colored jersey features red and green stripes with their official logo on the front. Earlier, the shades of the team were Sky Blue, but have opted to change the colours ahead of the upcoming season. During the jersey launch that took place in Ahmedabad earlier today skipper KL Rahul, mentor Gautam Gambhir, owner Dr Sanjiv Goenka and BCCI secratary Jay Shah were in attendance.

The Lucknow Super Giants were acquired by the RSPG group, which is owned by Sanjiv Goenka, for a staggering INR 7,090 crores. In the mega auction of the IPL 2022, Lucknow secured the services of KL Rahul for INR 17 crores, Marcus Stoinis for INR 9.2 crores, and Ravi Bishnoi for INR 4 crores. In their first ever IPL season last year, the KL Rahul-led LSG team fared really well, qualifying for the playoffs. However, their title dreams were shattered as they bowed out in the IPL 2022 Eliminator. The 2023 season will present a chance for the Lucknow franchise to go the distance this time around.

At LSG’s jersey launch, Gambhir heaped praise on skipper Rahul by saying: “It starts with the captain. The captain is the flag bearer of the team. It is the captain’s team. All of us in the dressing room are there to support him. No support staff is under as much pressure as the captain. It is the body language of the captain that will decide how we perform. We are very fortunate to have someone like KL Rahul, who has a very stable and balanced head. I wish I had it, I did not have that. I was very extreme, but it did work for me. For a franchise like Lucknow, it is important to have someone like KL at the helm. Going forward, this is going to be a massive positive for us.”
