Seeing that, fans went crazy and shared their views on social media.

Speaking of the tweet, RCB tweeted: "RCB’s Green Game will be played on the 23rd of April, against Rajasthan Royals at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Our special green jerseys are made of 100% recycled material and you can now get your hands on them, on the RCB Website and App. #PlayBold #ನಮ್ #IPL2023 #GoGreen". Speaking about this Green jersey, RCB introduced it as a part of their “Go Green” initiative in 2011. The main aim was to promote environmental sustainability and create awareness about ecological issues among people.

Since then, they have played a home match wearing the Green jersey in every edition of the IPL. However, fans have always loved this approach from the franchise as they have always looked to spread messages about conservation, sustainability, and the need to protect the planet. However, RCB’s record in Green Jersey is not so good over the years. So far, RCB have played 12 IPL matches. In those games, they have won only three games while losing eight matches. RCB played against RR in 2018 wearing Green Jersey. But, they suffered a 19-run defeat. So, fans will hope that the jersey might help the team win this year.

Here are some tweets shared by fans over the Green jersey update:
