RCB and AC Milan Come Together in Unique Global Sports Crossover

A special collaboration between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and AC Milan brought together top athletes from cricket and football in a unique cross-continental moment. USA football star Christian Pulisic joined cricketers Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Phil Salt in a fun exchange of sports and jerseys.

In Milan, Pulisic wore the new RCB jersey and even tried his hand at cricket by picking up a bat. Meanwhile, Kohli, Patidar, and Salt, from India, responded by performing a simple football trick. The moment connected two different sports and showed how athletes can share skills and enjoy each other’s games. Reacting to the collaboration, Kohli said, “Iconic clubs do iconic collabs. Ciao.”

The partnership also highlighted the strong history of AC Milan, which was originally founded as both a football and cricket club. Bringing together one of Europe’s most successful football teams and an IPL franchise added global value to the RCB jersey, making it more than just a cricket symbol.

The campaign, led by PUMA under the hashtag #RCBEverywhere, aims to take the jersey beyond cricket grounds and into everyday life. By placing it in different sports and cultures, the brand is connecting fans across the world. With global icons and athletes supporting the movement, the RCB jersey continues to grow as a symbol of fandom across sports, cities, and communities.

GT and RCB Set for Crucial Reverse Fixture Clash in IPL 2026

Gujarat Titans will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match No. 42 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 30. The match marks a reverse fixture between the two sides and is expected to play a key role in shaping the points table.

Gujarat Titans have experienced a mixed campaign so far. Led by Shubman Gill, the team has won four and lost four out of eight matches, placing them fifth in the standings. With eight points and a negative net run-rate of -0.475, even a victory in this game may not significantly improve their position on the table.

In contrast, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been one of the standout teams this season. Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, RCB have won six of their eight matches and currently hold 12 points. A win in this encounter could take them to the top of the leaderboard, further strengthening their position as one of the most dominant sides in IPL 2026.
