Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj is in full swing at the moment. Lakhs of devotees have thronged the venue to take a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam. Amid all the spiritual buzz, a video has gone viral on social media that has left everyone in splits. A Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fan is seen dipping the team’s jersey in the sacred water.

The die-hard fan went to take the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam wearing the iconic red and black jersey of RCB. After taking a dip, he removed the jersey and dipped it separately again in the sacred water and was happy after doing so. Moreover, the fan also clicked a picture with a sadhu in the water holding the jersey. After that, he dipped the jersey in the water as many as three times.

The fans are going frenzy over the crazy incident and are reacting hilariously. One of the social media users joked, “RCB fans have to try everything, man.” Another user hilariously stated that RCB might finally win the trophy now. “Go for it, bro. Who knows, maybe this is what RCB needs to finally win a trophy!” the user wrote.

RCB set to target IPL trophy in 2025

As far as RCB are concerned, they will once again target the trophy in the upcoming IPL edition. They had a more than decent auction as the franchise built the team after retaining only three players - Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. Josh Hazlewood and Phil Salt are two of their most expensive players having secured them for Rs 12.5 and 11.5 crore respectively.

The bowling attack is looking good with Bhuvneshwar Kumar joining the setup. They are yet to announce the captain for the 2025 season even as rumours state that Virat Kohli is set to become the skipper again. However, no official announcement has been made yet.

RCB squad for IPL 2025:

Virat Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Liam Livingstone, Rasikh Salam, Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal, Tim David, Suyash Sharma, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Nuwan Thushara, Romario Shepherd, Lungi Ngidi, Swapnil Singh, Abhinandan Singh, Swastik Chikara, Mohit Rathee, Manoj Bhandage.
