Even though the much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) is more than a month away, the teams have started to fight among each other.
It’s the both Royal franchises ie Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore that is trolling each other right now.

RCB recently changed their logo, after creating so much hype around their logo change on social media handles. They removed their logo and posts for one day and their players and fans came up with concerned tweets and messages regarding the same.
We will wait for @BCCI's official announcement on the fixtures, but for any franchises releasing early, this is our logo. ? https://t.co/haShMYzBHS pic.twitter.com/KSRDaha24X

While RCB posted their schedule, they made a huge error. While listing out their April 18 clash against Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, they used the old logo of the Rajasthan Royals in their tweet. Rajasthan Royals immediately noticed the mistake and pointed out by trolling the Royal Challengers via a tweet.
Rajasthan is one of the few franchises that haven’t posted the IPL schedule yet. They said via a tweet that they’ll wait for the official confirmation of the BCCI regarding the same. Rajasthan are in talks for having their second home venue as Guwahati. And that is believed to be the reason why BCCI is delaying the official confirmation.
All set for the carnival
The tournament will get underway with a game between the arch-rivals Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on March 29. For the first time in history, an all-star charity match will be played three days prior to the first match of the tournament.
Meanwhile, RCB will begin their IPL 2020 campaign with a game against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 31. Their first away game will be against defending champions Mumbai Indians on April 5 at the Wankhede Stadium. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals will kick-off their campaign with a game against IPL 2019 runners-up Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 2.
While the RCB is yet to be crowned as IPL champions, Rajasthan Royals have not been able to replicate their success since winning the inaugural edition in 2008 under the great Shane Warne.
