IPL 2021: RCB Will Sport Blue Jersey On September 20 In Support Of Frontline Workers

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be sporting the blue jersey in their IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on September 20, Monday. It is a symbol of support to the frontline workers who are fighting against the covid-19 pandemic.

RCB is known for such gestures and has previously indulged in spreading awareness about the environment by wearing green jerseys. This time around, the franchise has embarked on a new cause and Virat Kohli’s men will be donning the blue jersey to pay tribute to the frontline workers.

“RCB to wear Blue Jersey v KKR on 20th We at RCB are honoured to sport the Blue kit, that resembles the colour of the PPE kits of the frontline warriors, to pay tribute to their invaluable service while leading the fight against the Covid pandemic,” the tweet on RCB’s official page.

Just a few months ago, the franchise had revealed that it would be making a contribution to the healthcare industry by providing funds for Oxygen support tanks in Bangalore and few other cities. RCB was also in contact with the Give India Foundation which aims to provide Oxygen concentrators to different sections of the country.
