Bengaluru, May 8: The Royal Challengers Bangalore sported their unique green jersey in support of the 'Go Green' initiative on Sunday (May 8) when they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 67 runs in match 54 of IPL 2022 at the Wankheded Stadium in Mumbai.

Apart from last season when they sported a special Blue jersey in support of the frontline workers, Royal Challengers Bangalore, have worn a green jersey in one match of an IPL season since 2011.

The 'Go Green' initiative was coined for creating awareness about planting trees and reducing the effect of Global Warming.

And the Bangalore-based franchise wears the green jerseys only during the afternoon matches. The skipper also presents a plant as a momento to the opposition skipper during the toss as part of the special initiative.

So far, RCB have played a total of 11 games in the Green Jersey, but possess a poor record as they have just won three, while one match was abandoned in 2015 against Delhi Capitals due to rain.

RCB first sported the green jersey in the 2011 season against now defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala, whom they defeated by 9 wickets, thanks to the fireworks from opening duo Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan after the bowlers restricted KTK to 128.

Their second win came in 2016 when Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers centuries broke many records, annihilating now defunct Gujarat Lions for a 144 runs victory. However, RCB have lost 7 of the fixtures played in special jerseys.

RCB have lost to Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders twice in the 7 defeats, while they also suffered defeats to Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals.

In recent greenjersey match, RCB rode on knocks from skipper Faf du Plessis before Wanindu Hasaranga's five-wicket haul decimated SRH.
