RCB Unveils 2025 Key Visual, A Heartfelt Tribute to ‘12th Man Army’
Bengaluru (Karnataka), February 17: As the third edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 gets underway, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has unveiled a special tribute to their loyal fanbase with their latest key visual. The artwork, which will also be featured on the RCB team bus, celebrates the unwavering passion of the ‘12th Man Army’—a term synonymous with RCB’s devoted supporters.
The visual showcases real-life fan moments, where supporters have gone above and beyond to express their love for the franchise. From a couple displaying a “Play Bold” banner at their wedding to a fan carrying their RCB jersey for a holy dip at the Mahakumbh, the tribute highlights how deeply ingrained RCB is in the lives of its fans.
The RCB key visual captures several unique stories, including:
✅ A delivery executive who turned his bike into an RCB-themed tribute.
✅ A graduate proudly holding up an RCB jersey during their convocation.
✅ A devoted fan proposing to her partner during an RCB match.
✅ A scuba diver taking his jersey underwater to celebrate his love for the team.
Each of these moments represents the deep personal connection that fans share with RCB, something the franchise acknowledges and cherishes.
Rajesh Menon, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of RCB, emphasized the significance of the tribute, stating:
“RCB takes immense pride in having one of the most passionate and loyal fanbases in the world of cricket. This year’s key visual is a heartfelt tribute to our dedicated community, whose unwavering support has been integral to our journey. Through this, we aim to celebrate their relentless support and highlight the unique ways they carry the spirit of RCB into their everyday lives.”
For fans who found themselves immortalized on the RCB team bus, the moment was nothing short of a dream come true.
🔴 Harish, who took his RCB jersey for a holy dip at the Mahakumbh, expressed his excitement:
“RCB is not just a team, it is an emotion. I can’t believe my picture is on the RCB bus. It’s an amazing feeling to see my passion and support for the team come to life in this way.”
🔴 Heta and Raj, who made headlines when Heta proposed to Raj at an RCB vs CSK match, were thrilled:
“Waking up to see our pictures on the RCB team bus was incredible. As the 12th Man, we cheered the team with all our heart, and now we get to be part of their journey—it’s just surreal!”
🔴 Likitha Suggala, who was criticized for carrying her RCB jersey to her graduation ceremony, felt vindicated:
“People told me I ruined my graduation, but this is one of the best decisions I made! Now, my degree, my job, and my favorite sports franchise support me. My mother was ecstatic—she said, ‘You are an official fan now, and Kohli will see you!'”
The 2025 key visual is not just a design—it’s a moving tribute that will travel with RCB throughout the tournament, serving as a reminder of the passion and dedication of their 12th Man Army.
With this initiative, RCB continues to strengthen its bond with fans, proving once again that cricket is not just a sport—it’s an emotion, a community, and a way of life.
