RCB Green Jersey Record: Royal Challengers Bangalore are bowling first after winning the toss in today's match against Kolkata Knight Riders. RCB's performance in IPL 2024 has been disappointing so far. In the first 7 matches, Bengaluru has won only 1 while losing 6 matches. Under the captaincy of Faf du Plessis, Royal Challengers have taken the field against KKR wearing green jersey this season. However, RCB's record in the green jersey has been very poor.

Why does RCB wear green jersey?

The 'Go Green' initiative was launched by the Royal Challengers Bangalore team to create awareness about planting trees and reducing the impact of global warming. As part of the special initiative, the RCB captain also presents a plant to the opposition captain as a memento during the toss. The Bengaluru franchise wears a green jersey made from 100 per cent recycled material and is mostly seen wearing the special kit during afternoon matches and hence April 21 has been chosen as 'Go Green' day for the afternoon match against KKR.

Record of all RCB matches in green jersey

Bengaluru team has not been able to win even a single title in IPL yet but due to the presence of its fans and Virat Kohli, the team gets full support. In such a situation, RCB had started a new initiative 13 years ago due to Go Green, in which they are seen wearing jerseys made of garbage. The record of Bengaluru team has been poor so far in the green jersey. Of the 13 matches played since 2011, RCB have won 8 and lost 4 while 1 match has been without any result.

Bengaluru has won matches in green jersey in the last two seasons. In such a situation, the morale of the team has increased by wearing this jersey. In green jersey, RCB scored the most runs in a match against Gujarat Lions when they put 248/3 runs on the scoreboard.
