IPL 2022: Royal Challengers Bangalore unveil new jersey ahead of the season

Royal Challengers Bangalore have unveiled their jersey for the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The official social media handles of the franchise gave the fans the first glimpse of their new design on Saturday (March 12). With RCB having a massive fan following, the new design didn’t take long in becoming a talking point. Meanwhile, the three-time finalist would like to break the jinx with the new jersey and lift the elusive title.

Speaking of the jersey design, it comes majorly in shades of red and black in the middle. While the t-shirt has been dominated by black color with the sponsor’s name in the middle, the lower is mainly in red color. Meanwhile, the Bengaluru-based franchise made the major announcement in their RCB unbox event. The event entertained the crowd thoroughly as singers, bands, DJs, and beatboxers were in action at the Museum Cross Road in Church Street.

RCB to play under new captain Faf du Plessis

In the same high-profile event, RCB also announced their new skipper in form of Faf du Plessis. The decision was very much on cards, seeing the form and experience of classy batter of late.

Meanwhile, a different-looking RCB outfit will be seen in IPL 2022 as the side has included several new names in last month’s mega auction. Moreover, a new skipper will take the charge as Virat Kohli stepped down from the role following the conclusion of the last season. The 33-year-old, however, will continue serving the franchise as a batter.

He’ll be assisted by the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik in the batting department. As far as the bowling attack is concerned, Mohammed Siraj will join forces with the likes of Harshal Patel and Josh Hazlewood. Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga will be the primary all-rounder of the team.

Meanwhile, IPL 2022 is set to be a grand affair with two new teams – Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans coming into the picture. Hence, for the very first time since 2011, 10 teams will fight for the prestigious title. Meanwhile, IPL 2022 is set to get underway on March 26 and fans must have marked their calendars.

RCB Squad for IPL 2022: Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj, Faf du Plessis, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik, Josh Hazlewood, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Mahipal Lomror, Finn Allen, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Behrendorff, Suyash Prabhudessai, Chama Milind, Aneeshwar Gautam, Luvnith Sisodia, David Willey
