The 32nd match of IPL 2023 is currently underway, with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) taking on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a highly anticipated encounter at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. What’s noteworthy is that all RCB players are sporting green jerseys for this game, a departure from their usual red and black ones. The sight of the entire RCB team in green jerseys has left fans thrilled, and the initiative has garnered widespread praise on social media.
Why are RCB players wearing green today?
The green jerseys worn by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team in today’s IPL match against the Rajasthan Royals are part of the “Go Green” initiative that the franchise has been promoting since 2011. The initiative is aimed at creating awareness about ecological issues and promoting environmental sustainability.
In the past, RCB has played a total of 12 IPL matches wearing green jerseys. Unfortunately, their record while wearing these jerseys has not been impressive, having won only thrice and lost on eight other occasions. One match had ended without a result. In their last game donning the green threads during IPL 2018, RCB lost to the Rajasthan Royals by 19 runs.
Despite their less-than-stellar record while wearing green jerseys, the initiative has continued to be a popular one among fans and supporters of the team. The team’s commitment to creating a better world has certainly struck a chord with fans, who have lauded the players for using their platform to promote a noble cause. As the match progresses, all eyes will be on the RCB players to see if their green jerseys will inspire them to a memorable victory against the Rajasthan Royals and break their curse with the green jersey.
