LUCKNOW: Moments after the announcement of an IPL team for Lucknow, on Monday, the social media was flooded with suggestions of names for the new team --- from traditional to fancy.
From Gomti Fighters to Awadh Hunters, fans shared their suggestions on WhatsApp groups and Twitter.
“Lucknow has been known for etiquettes but IPL would be a platform to change its image. I believe Lucknow players have a hunger for win, so Awadh Hunters would be appropriate,” said Vishu, a cricket player. His friend Vijual suggested Lucknow strikers as name for the team.
Another young cricketer Abhishek Agarwal suggested Royal Nawabs and Tehzeeb 11 for the team, while Rohan and Adarsh Patel came up with the idea of Lucknow Nawabs.
Robin Singh, an under-18 player suggested, Gomti Fighters while Keshav Shukla came with Lucknow Lions and Priyanshu Srivastav suggested Lucknow Royal.
