The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have a practice of wearing “green jerseys” to commemorate “Go Green Day” during their Indian Premier League (IPL) afternoon games. The jerseys are worn primarily to encourage tree planting and lessen the impact of global warming. The RCB captain traditionally raises awareness of the cause before the game begins by giving the opposing captain a sapling.
When the team plays in M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, they typically like to wear the green jersey. Their afternoon games, which begin at 3:30 or 4:00 PM, are not played at home, nevertheless. Prior to this, when COVID-19 was sweeping the nation, RCB played these games at neutral locations. Additionally, they paid homage to the Covid-19 frontline fighters in India and around the world in 2021 by donning blue jerseys.
The team unveiled their green jerseys at the Eden Garden in Kolkata after their opening IPL 2025 encounter against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). On April 13, they will play the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, continuing the tradition of donning the special shirt. It’s crucial to examine RCB’s record in games where they have taken home the green jersey in the interim.
