RCB unveils new logo before upcoming edition of Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has never been kind to Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB). Even after having a plethora of match-winners like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Dale Steyn, the franchise has never been able to win a single title. After a dismal show in the edition, many experts believed that the RCB management needs to go on the drawing board and rethink every aspect of their strategy.

And it seems like the franchise has heard them.

Embodying the bold pride and the challenger spirit, we have unleashed the rampant lion returning him to the Royal lineage.
