Although the IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings not have much at stake, the fan battle is still massively palpable at the Garden City.

The season has been contrasting for the two teams. Surprisingly, it is RCB that are at the ascendance and currently occupy the 3rd spot in the points table. CSK are currently languishing at the bottom and their playoff hopes are also over.

But ahead of the match today at Chinnaswamy, a jersey has been circling across social media and gaining much attention.

RCB vs CSK: A Controversial Jersey Sparks Debate

In an unexpected turn of events, a bizarre shirt, predominantly white with black stripes, has been spotted being sold outside the stadium. The design bears a striking resemblance to prison uniforms, leading to widespread speculation and debate among fans on social media.

Images across Chinnaswamy have captured stalls selling the White and Black-clad jersey, which reads Special RCB vs CSK jersey in the counter.

What is the Connection of that Shirt?

As per fans on social media, the choice of colors and design appears to be a stark departure from CSK's traditional yellow and blue attire. While the franchise has not officially commented on the jersey, its emergence has reignited discussions about CSK's two-year suspension from the IPL in 2016 and 2017.

CSK's suspension stemmed from a betting scandal involving key team official Gurunath Meiyappan, who was found guilty of engaging in illegal betting activities during the 2013 IPL season. The Supreme Court-appointed Lodha Committee recommended a two-year suspension for CSK, which was subsequently enforced, sidelining the team for the 2016 and 2017 seasons. The franchise's absence during this period was a significant event in IPL history, leading to substantial changes within the team and its management.

Some fans have been angered by this shirt while some believe there can be crowd disturbances which may brew from this jersey.
