In the match against the Delhi Capitals, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team has taken the field wearing green jerseys. This match is being played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. While RCB's standard jersey features a combination of black and red, why have the team's players stepped out in green jerseys for this match against Delhi? The primary reason for this is the 'Go Green' initiative, which aims to raise awareness regarding environmental conservation.
It is worth noting that today, Royal Challengers Bangalore is playing its 100th match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. This is another reason why the RCB team has taken the field in green jerseys—to truly make this day a special occasion. They have also become the first team in the history of the IPL to set the record of playing 100 matches at a single venue.
Why did the RCB team wear the green jersey?
In 2011, Royal Challengers Bangalore launched the 'Go Green' initiative. Since 2011, the RCB team has taken the field wearing a green jersey in at least one match every season. By doing so, the Bangalore team works to spread awareness regarding global warming and environmental conservation. Rajesh Menon, CEO of the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise, states that it is the result of years of hard work that the franchise has today achieved the status of being carbon-neutral. He further added that this initiative also serves to inspire the general public.

RCB's management takes special care to ensure that carbon emissions at the team level are minimized. To this end, records are maintained regarding the team's travel, hotel stays, electricity consumption, and emissions generated by diesel generators. Furthermore, the team has endeavored to involve fans in this initiative; arrangements have been made to provide metro tickets alongside match tickets.
