Royal Challengers Bengaluru is gearing up to face Rajasthan Royals in their next IPL match, and they’re doing it in style – or should we say, in green. The team will don their special “Go Green” jersey as part of their sustainability initiative. But before we dive into the match, let’s take a look at RCB’s track record in their green kits.
A Mixed Bag
RCB has worn green jerseys 14 times since 2011, but their performance hasn’t been exactly stellar. They’ve managed just four wins, with nine losses and one no-result. Not exactly the kind of stats you want to see when you’re heading into a big match. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has been a bright spot. He has played 13 matches in the green jersey and has averaged 33.92 with a strike rate of 141.8. That’s not bad, especially considering he’s hit four fifties and a century in those matches.
RCB says their jerseys are now made from 95% textile and polyester waste. And the best part? They can be recycled multiple times without losing quality, thanks to Puma’s ReFibre Fabric. The team’s “Go Green” campaign aims to promote environmental awareness. They’re all about keeping the planet clean, planting more trees, and reducing waste.
The team took to social media to share their commitment to sustainability.

Can RCB turn their green jersey luck around today against Rajasthan Royals? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure, though – they’ll be doing it with a clear conscience, knowing they’re doing their bit for the environment.
