RCB released a video with cryptic message
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is known for its loyal fan base, who are attached to the franchise for various reasons, including its name. However, the RCB posted a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday and hinted that they are considering renaming the franchise.
The RCB shared a video on their official X-handle featuring actor Rishabh Shetty, hinting at a possible name change from Bangalore. The franchise teased, “Understood what Rishabh Shetty is trying to say? You’ll find out at RCB Unbox. Buy your tickets now.” This sparked speculation among RCB fans on social media, with many suggesting that the team might switch from “Bangalore” to “Bengaluru” to better reflect the city’s name.
Since the inception of the IPL in 2008, the RCB has retained its name as Royal Challengers Bangalore, even after the city’s name changed to Bengaluru in 2014. Whether there will be a name change or not will be revealed during the RCB Unbox event on 19 February, just two days before their IPL 2024 opening match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. A. Chidambaram International Cricket Stadium in Chennai.
RCB is renowned for its dedicated fan base, which turns out in large numbers each IPL season to rally behind the team. Despite boasting some of the world’s top players, RCB has become a subject of numerous memes due to its failure to clinch a single IPL title.
