Speaking of the event, former captain of RCB Virat Kohli represents the Bangalore-based franchise for the sixteenth consecutive season after joining the team in 2008 as a 19-years old player.
The franchise was the honour of AB de Villers and Chris Gayle at the Royal Challengers Bangalore unbox event for their contribution to the team. Their jersey numbers are 333 (Chris Gayle) and 17 (AB de Villers) retired permanently as a tribute and both the cricketers will be inducted into the Royal Challengers Bangalore Hall of Fame. AB de Villers retired from all the crickets in 2022 while legendary cricketer Chris Gayle last played an IPL in 2021.
The trio (Virat, ABD and Gayle) was together in RCB jerseys from 2017, as in 2018 Chris Gayle was signed by the Punjab Kings after RCB didn’t retain him. The event also featured some live performances such as Jason Derulo and Sonu Nigam and fans get a chance to live view their practice session at the stadium. Chris Gayle and ADB also joined Virat Kohli and the rest of the team at the venue.
