Social media is pretty important for all IPL teams but recently, Virat Kohli led IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) deleted all its posts along with the profile photo from its social media accounts. Everyone including the captain of the team was left in a state of shock as he was also unaware of the reason behind this development. The skipper Virat Kohli and his teammates Yuzvendra Chahal, AB de Villiers, etc. took to Twitter to express their surprise over it and asked the franchise about the reason behind such a move.
Now it is absolutely clear as to why all the posts and profile photo was deleted. Royal Challengers Bangalore has released their new logo and the revelation was made by the official Twitter handle.
The tweet read, “Embodying the bold pride and the challenger spirit, we have unleashed the rampant lion returning him to the Royal lineage. New Decade, New RCB, and this is our new logo #PlayBold #NewDecadeNewRCB”

The Chairman of RCB, Sanjeev Churiwala said that the logo has been redesigned in order to give their lion a makeover and it also depicts the commitment of the team to continuously entertain the RCB fans. Sanjeev further added that the management felt that the change in identity was needed to live and breathe the vision of the team properly and for playing bold cricket.
While few fans lauded the new logo, there were some Twitter users who also made fun of it while some other said that RCB has copied the new logo from the logos of football club. Several other netizens went on to say that rather than changing the logo, RCB should change the members of the team.
This is how Twitter reacted over the new logo of RCB:

RCB is changing logo thinking that it will improve their performance, this is what happens when the captain outsources idea from Bollywood.

RCB may be one of the strongest teams on the paper but it has never won an IPL trophy. It has reached the finals three times but since 2017, the team has performed very badly. However, the players and fans are hoping a change in fortune this time.
The skipper of RCB, Virat Kohli showed support to his IPL team by making a post on Twitter. Moreover, through his tweet, he also took a jibe at those who were trolling RCB over the change of logo.
Virat Kohli’s tweet read, “LOGO ka kaam hai kehna. 😄 Thrilled to see our new @rcbtweets logo. It embodies the Bold pride and challenger spirit that our players bring to the field. Can’t wait for #IPL2020”.

Kohli’s excitement and enthusiasm can be felt with this tweet and hopefully his time his team won’t disappoint RCB fans.
Currently, Virat Kohli is in New Zealand with the Indian squad; while they have won the T20I series by 5-0, team India has lost the ODI series by 3-0. Now the Indians and Black Caps will face each other in the two-match test match series which is going to start from 21st February.
