RCB's main players like AB de Villiers and Yuzvendra Chahal were left baffled with RCB's move. On Wednesday, they had taken to Twitter to seek answers for RCB's decision to delete everything from its social media handles. Now, RCB skipper Virat Kohli has also taken to Twitter, saying he was utterly surprised with the turn of events on social media. In a cheeky manner, Virat Kohli also said that the franchise should have informed him before deleting the posts

The rebranding of a team, at least in the IPL, has worked as a way to rejuvenate the team and breath some new life into it. Till now, every team that has rebranded has ended up creating a better season record in one way or another. Last year, Delhi Capitals rebranded themselves and subsequently made it to the playoffs. Virat Kohli's men may need that boost too as the team has performed miserably despite having prolific names in the squad. Since their runners-up performance in 2016, RCB has languished at the bottom of the table and has usually been the first team to be out of the playoffs race.
