Indian Premier League is going on in full swing where most of the teams are trying to seal their place in the playoffs, including Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). However, RCB has taken a great initiative as they will don the green jersey in their next game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (May 8) which is a part of their ‘Go Green’ Initiative. However, they will follow their annual tradition of wearing green jerseys instead of the regular one o spread awareness about environmental protection to everyone as well.
“The ‘Go Green’ sustainability initiative has been a huge part of our RCB culture since 2011. Over the years we have seen RCB sport the green jersey in the day game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to create awareness around a greener and more sustainable planet Earth. Continuing the go green cause that we truly believe in RCB will be wearing the green match kits on the 8th of May when we take on Sunrisers Hyderabad,” said former RCB captain and one of the key players Virat Kohli in a Bold Diaries video shared by the franchise on their social media as well.

Notably, RCB are in fourth place in the IPL 2022 points table after their last win against Chennai Super Kings in Pune. However, the win over the defending champions also broke their three-match losing streak as well and with this, their hopes for a spot in the playoffs remain intact. “This Sunday we take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad, we will be dressed in our green jersey in an effort to spread awareness about saving the planet,” said captain Faf du Plessis.

The last time RCB met SunRisers Hyderabad; they were bowled out for just 68 in 16.1 overs and lost the game by nine wickets. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell also asked people to contribute to this ‘Go Green’ initiative. He said, “Let us all continue to try and play a small part in building towards a great future for environment-friendly measures that can help make this world a much better place to live in for the coming generations.” On the other hand, wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has also added, “Let us remember to turn off lights, fans, ACs, and other electronic appliances when not in use.”
