RCB Players will wear blue jersey to pay a tribute to the covid frontline warriors
Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will open the second half of IPL 2021 with players sporting a special blue jersey against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to pay a tribute to the Covid-19 frontline warriors.
Virat Kohli and his team will resume their campaign against two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. An impressive opening half saw the team climb to the third spot in the standings but the challenge of starting from scratch will be a hindrance to every team.
Since 2011, the Indian Premier League (IPL) giants Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have donned a special green jersey at least once every season as a part of the ‘Go Green Initiative’; a campaign that was flagged off to spread awareness about keeping the planet clean and healthy. Come 2021, a year laced with unprecedented times and events, RCB have decided to open the second half of IPL 2021 with players sporting a special blue jersey to pay tribute to the Covid-19 frontline warriors.
