Mohun Bagan general secretary issued the statement in an official press release:-
“It was a special match between KKR and LSG of IPL on 20th May 2023 at Eden Gardens for the supporters of Mohun Bagan because LSG was wearing a new Green and Maroon Jersey.
But, the KKR management curtailed the freedom of the Mohun Bagan supporters (who are also fans of KKR and LSG) by not allowing them to enter the stadium as they were wearing the jersey of Mohun Bagan.
Since 1990, I have been watching FIFA World Cup matches by travelling to different parts of the world by wearing our National Club i.e., Mohun Bagan’s Jersey and I have never been stopped at anywhere. It is an individual’s right to support and wear the jersey of the team which he/she loves and supports. No one has the right to interfere in one’s own choice.
Thus, 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 was not a good outing for the Kolkata outfits in their last game of the IPL 2023. Lucknow Super Giants edged out by a 1-run victory to seal their place in the IPL 2023 playoffs. Rinku Singh’s massive knock went in vain but it was LSG who had their last laugh to become 3rd in the IPL Points Table.
