I mean- you ran a marketing campaign worth millions just to hoodwink the public into believing they could name their team? This guy should run for the position of the Indian Prime Minister in 2024.

Won't be surprised if they have Purple jersey.

As a matter of fact, they are. The same jersey that was used by Pune.

I wouldnt be surprised if Sanjiv Goenka does the below 2 things:

1. Do a Preity Zinta- claim the team does not have enough local support and ask for a base change to Pune after 2 years
2. Walk out of the IPL citing something stupid.

Geez!

The franchise is yet again gonna be a disaster.

IPL should be a 8 teams affair only IMO, they extra 1 or 2 franchise never really turn up don't they?

The day until we have a complete reset of the franchise squads, there is no point in having extra franchises with claims that they will be competitive. Lucknow and Ahmedabad were incredibly lucky that three world class players of the highest quality happened to all quarrel with their respective franchises and that they were able to snap up at least two of them. If not, how are they supposed to compete with others who get to retain up to four of their crème de la crème?

Inb4 Goenkas sack KL Rahul mid-season and consult an astrologer before changing the name to Lucknow Super Giant. Maybe throw in a bid for Labu to act as Smith v2.0 in this tale of déjà vu.

Goodbye Mohali! Hello Dharamshala!
Actually, Preity and Ness Wadia did ask the board to give them either of Pune or Indore. Seems the request was kept on hold, as the BCCI wanted to deal with the new franchisees.

This isnt the 1st time PBKs have asked for a base change. They did so when RR and CSK were banned too.

Rajasthan welcomes Lucknow Super Giants with a cheeky "Pun(e) intended" punch line. And Lucknow retorts back saying "With all due respect, we missed you those 2 years" (referring to the 2 year betting related ban on RR and CSK).

Looks like IPL social media are getting really cheeky and are being given the license to go all out and even broach sensitive topics! Niceeee!!! :lol :clap:cheers

Want to hear about this from you now @abhi_jacko
They had the chance to fix it

But brain fade persists

All other franchises make some sense such as DC or atleast sound cool such as KKR

Rising Super Giants is neither - worst franchise name
