It’s early days, and there are a lot of positives: Dravid on RR’s poor start to IPL 2025
“It’s early days, and there are a lot of positives,” he said confidently, brushing off the back-to-back losses.
As part of its launch on Monday, Indian Premier League’s new franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) unveiled its logo, which was inspired by ancient Indian mythology.
“The mythical bird Garuda — who is a protector and enthroned with the power to move swiftly, has inspired us to create the winged emblem of the team. Garuda is omnipresent in every Indian culture and sub-culture,” LSG said in a statement.
