Royal Challengers Bengaluru have faced backlash from home fans and pro-Kannada activists for launching social media accounts in Hindi. Many have called out the RCB's move by alleging that the franchise is imposing Hindi down their throats.

The heavy English flavour to RCB squad is provided by Livingstone, Bethell and Salt. Their superstar, Kohli, could be seen captaining the unit once again as RCB chase the elusive crown.

RCB have managed to come up with a solid squad ahead of the IPL 2025 season, even after missing out on payers like KL Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal and leaving out Mohammed Siraj.
