Best of cricket mascots: 10 Instances when Mascots took center stage in cricket

Team Mascots in IPL

While the Indian Premier League (IPL) doesn’t have any official mascot, the teams participating in the league have had some interesting mascots representing their legacy. The Rajasthan Royals had unveiled its mascot “Moochu Singh”- a Lion. Moochu Singh had a big moustache and stood for RR’s motto of resilience, commitment, and intensity and never say die attitude. He was also seen dancing in a music video with then RR owner Shilpa Shetty to the tune of Halla Bol. 

In the same inaugural IPL edition in 2008, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) unveiled their mascot named “Hoog-Lee” who was a young Bengal tiger cub, a pure vegetarian, loves humour, his nice little bed, and the color gold. He was called “better than any Lee in the world”. Then in the IPL 2023, KKR unveiled a fresh mascot whom they named “Kay the Knight.” The Mascot was introduced to play an important role in cheering up the environment of the game.
