On Sunday, Mohun Bagan accused the city’s IPL team of being haughty. He claimed that it barred its supporters from entering Eden Gardens. Because they were wearing the jersey of a century-old football team.
In their match against KKR on Saturday. Lucknow Super Giants, who share owners with the current Indian Super League champions Mohun Bagan in the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group, wore the recognizable green-and-maroon uniforms.
With a one-run victory over KKR, LSG eliminated the Lucknow franchise from the playoffs for the second time in a row. Paying a fitting tribute to the football club’s 132-year history.

“Restricted Freedom”. Mohun Bagan Criticizes KKR For Refusing To Let Fans In. The fans attempted to enter the stadium with their valid tickets but were turned away.
The incident takes place in the wake of LSG’s declaration that they would don a unique jersey for their final league match of the IPL.
The RPSG Group, which owns LSG, is the owner of the renowned Indian football team Mohun Bagan. Which served as the inspiration for the jersey.
In a press release, Mohun Bagan general secretary Debashish Dutta said, “LSG was wearing a new Green and Maroon Jersey. For the Mohun Bagan faithful, it was a particularly meaningful game”.
However, the KKR management limited the freedom of the Mohun Bagan fans, who are also supporters of KKR and LSG.
“By prohibiting them from entering the stadium because they were wearing the Mohun Bagan jersey”. Condemning the behaviour, he added that “The KKR had offended the football team’s supporters”.
He said, “Mohun Bagan Athletic Club strongly condemns this decision of KKR management for disrespecting the National Club of India and hurting the sentiment of our supporters”.
It is everyone’s right to support their favorite team and wear their team’s jersey. Nobody has the right to sway someone’s decision, he continued.
