In the match against Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore team has entered the field wearing green jersey. This match is being played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB’s jersey is a combination of black and red, but why are the team players wearing green jersey against Delhi? The major reason behind this is the ‘Go Green’ initiative, whose objective is to spread awareness about the environment.

Let us tell you that today Royal Challengers Bangalore is playing its 100th match at Chinnaswamy Stadium. This is also one of the reasons why the RCB team has entered the field wearing green jersey to make this day special. It has also become the first team in the history of IPL to make a record of playing 100 matches at a single venue.

Why did RCB team wear green jersey?

In the year 2011, Royal Challengers Bangalore started the ‘Go Green’ initiative. Since 2011, the RCB team takes the field wearing green jersey for at least one match every season. By doing this, the Bengaluru team works to spread global warming and environmental awareness.
