Royal Challengers Bengaluru?
So this is clearly telling that the team is going to make a big announcement on 14th February. The phrase ‘New decade, new RCB’ is indicating that the Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to change name and logo for the IPL 2020 season. Before this, the Virat Kohli-led team had changed the logo back in 2016.
According to reports, some followers of the team were not happy as RCB is using Bangalore in the name which is the old name of the ‘Silicon Valey’. Now the city named as Bengaluru and RCB might change Bangalore with Bengaluru in their name. Although, the IPL franchise is going to reveal tomorrow that what’s cooking.
