Cameron Green revealed that Virat Kohli always boards the RCB team bus before anyone else and that it’s a conscious choice from the whole group. The Australian all-rounder said the rest of Kohli’s teammates prefer getting onto the bus when things settle down after the reception from fans for their former captain. The love and support for Kohli and RCB has only grown over the years, despite the team failing to lift the coveted IPL trophy year after year.
While speaking at an event, Green was asked who was the ‘good boy’ in the RCB team, and who came for team meetings and the team bus on time. The star all-rounder picked Virat Kohli, much to the delight of the audience at the event.
“Probably Virat to be fair, I think it’s good for him to get on the bus, all the crowd can go wild and then everyone, calms down, and we’ll just walk down quietly,” Green said.
Despite their floundering campaign, RCB have had a healthy dressing room atmosphere and the camaraderie among the players has been evident. The former champions are rooted to the bottom of the points table with just 3 wins in their first 10 matches of IPL 2024.

RCB FANS’ LOVE FOR TEAM AND KOHLI
RCB’s centurion from their last match against GT, Will Jacks, also talked about the support the franchise has received over the years. He pointed out that the fans with their RCB jerseys on made the team feel at home, whichever ground they play at. He also mentioned the players hearing RCB and Kohli chants wherever they go.
The England batting star flaunted how RCB fans have dominated crowds across the country and highlighted the ‘Kohli, Kohli’ chants at every venue in IPL 2024.
“I think I’m stuck on what counts as it feels like every game is a home game. It’s amazing, you see at least half of RCB shirts in the crowd. It’s an amazing feeling, they are always chanting obviously. Kohli chants everywhere and RCB chants. You don’t feel under pressure, like you are out of the way there and you feel like there is something out of there. You always feel you got support and if you do well, they will cheer for you,” Jacks said.
Fans have lived up to the tag of ’12th man’ for RCB so far. The former finalists will look to play for pride and finish their season on a high. RCB next face Gujarat in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 4.
