It&#8217;s legacy represents the city of Kolkata,&#8221; LSG team owner <!-- -->Shashwat Goenka<!-- --> said.<br \/>&#8220;It is with this in mind, that we have decided that LSG will don the iconic colours of maroon and green in Saturday&#8217;s match against KKR at Eden Gardens. It is our way of paying respect to the legacy of Mohun Bagan and to the legacy of our city.&#8221;<br \/>With this LSG hopes to find themselves at home come Saturday, in a must-win battle for both teams&#8217; playoff prospects.<br \/>&#8220;Not just Mohun Bagan fans, but I hope all the residents of Kolkata will support us. For us, Kolkata is our home right. So, as much support as we can get, that&#8217;s what we would ask for,&#8221; Goenka added.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made at RPSG House in presence of LSG stand-in skipper <!-- -->Krunal Pandya<!-- --> and wicketkeeper-batter <!-- -->Nicholas Pooran<!-- -->.<br \/>Krunal, who has been appointed skipper midway into the season in the absence of an injured <!-- -->KL Rahul<!-- -->, said he&#8217;s looking forward to seeing Mohun Bagan in action some day.<br \/>&#8220;Yes, I&#8217;m aware this year we won the (ISL) trophy as well. I&#8217;m aware of the team as well. In fact, I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing one of the games as well.&#8221;<br \/>He further hoped that they would have greater support than the home team.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cricket match2\" msid=\"100329613\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-100329613,width-600,resizemode-4\/100329613.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;100 percent (we would have more support).
