The players of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be sporting blue jersey in their match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the UAE-leg of IPL 2021.
RCB are set to resume their IPL 2021 campaign against KKR in Abu Dhabi on Monday, September 20.
The first time that RCB changed the colour of their jersey was during IPL 2011 to support the ‘Go Green’ initiative, and since then, they have been wearing the jersey for at least one match every season. Last year, the RCB team had paid tributes to the COVID warriors throughout the 13th edition of the tournament by wearing a jersey that had ‘My COVID heroes’ written on the back of it.
