XtraTime Web Desk: Virat Kohli and his team Royal Challengers Bangalore will pay tribute to all the covid heroes in the following IPL. The new RCB jersey will have “My Covid Heroes” written on them and they will wear that all throughout the tournament. This is beautiful gesture towards all those frontline workers who are battling against Covid-19 in a regular basis.
The management on Thursday announced that the slogan “Covid Heroes” will be printed on the back of playing jersey as well as on the back of training jersey.
“RCB will also be supporting GiveIndia Foundation by donating the proceeds from the auction of the jerseys that players wear during season’s first RCB match,” read the statement.
The virtual launch was attended by RCB chairman Sanjeev Churiwala, skipper Virat Kohli, Parthiv Patel and young opener Devdutt Paddikal.
“Royal Challengers Bangalore has always stood for playing bold in the face of adversities, and we believe that right now these Covid Heroes are embodying this purpose by relentlessly fighting for the greater good.
“Humanity is going to be grateful to them for many generations to come and through this campaign, we wanted to be among the first to pay tribute to their challenger spirit both on and off the field,” said Churiwala.
