IPL 2020: RCB gets hilariously trolled by Jasprit Bumrah on social media over new logo

Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) launched its new logo for the 2020 edition of the tournament on Friday (February 14).

The Bangalore-based franchise had a strange day with their social media accounts as they had deleted all its photos across social media.

The new logo is bolder with a red backdrop, golden lion and team's name in black.
