The Mumbai Indians will take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 20th Match of the TATA IPL 2026. This game marks the beginning of the rivalry week as two of the IPL's best teams, with the largest of fanbases, clash in a battle of the royals.
Wearing black armbands in the game of cricket clearly means that the players would be mourning a death or an unfortunate incident that is marked as a black day in the annual calendar.
The 93-year-old legendary vocalist has sung in over 20+ Indian languages, and the legendary singer was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most recorded artist in music history all over the world.
Will RCB players also wear the black armbands for the same cause as MI?
Hence, in Gaurav Gupta's opinion, not only the Mumbai Indians but also the Royal Challengers Bengaluru side should wear those bands to mourn the death of the once-in-a-generation singer. Moreover, the RCB team is now also owned by Indian owners in the Birla Group.
