It looks like Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are finally going to change their team name ahead of IPL 2024. The side dropped a major hint indicating a name change with a video on their social media handle. Sandalwood actor Rishabh Shetty asks a person in the video to take a horse away who had a ‘Bangalore’ banner on its back.
RCB to finally switch to ‘Bengaluru’ ahead of IPL 2024?
