Meanwhile, Lucknow IPL franchise has launched a unique hunt for their names. Unlike other teams, the RPSG-backed team wants fans to name the new IPL team. After shelling out Rs 7,090 crore, the team is now searching for the right name and on its Twitter handle, it has urged fans to come up with a unique name.
‘Naam ke Haqdaar, Pehle Aap’ and ‘Naam Banao, Naam Kamao’ – clearly indicating that management has started its activation to search for a NEW & RIGHT NAME for the Lucknow IPL Team – in real Lakhnawi andaaz.
The Twitter handle is the resurrection of RPSG-backed Rising Pune Supergiants that was defunct after BCCI welcomed back Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings after the betting scandal. The franchise is expected to announce the new name soon.
