RCB winning song in Dugout:
The Pants are red
The shirt is blue
The golden lion shining through
We are RCB, We are playing bold
Go to the final our own
A finer kit you will never see
A finer team there will never be
Other teams don’t bother me
I’m proud to be from RCB— pavankumar (@pavankumarmsc9) April 3, 2023
