Only a few days are left and then the IPL 2026 season will start. After the end of the T20 World Cup, an atmosphere is now being created regarding this tournament. The 19th season of the league is starting from March 28, from where the competition between 10 teams will continue for the next 2 months. But even before the clash on the field, conflict has started between some teams. Kolkata Knight Riders have taken the first step in this matter. Former IPL champion Kolkata released a special video just 14 days before the start of the league and without saying anything, made fun of the current champion Royal Challengers Bangalore, which created an uproar on social media.
KKR’s new jersey launched
knight riders Posted a video on his social media accounts on Saturday, March 14. This video was of the team’s new jersey launch. KKR made a fun promotional video for this and used some such numbers in it, which IPL fans immediately recognized.

RCB on target of KKR
Actually, in this video, different pictures of Kolkata were presented and in it there was also a glimpse of traffic signal. Red light was on in the signal and 49 was written on the timer shown in it. Normally this means 49 seconds but with this one number, KKR defeated the defending champions Bengaluru and the fans did not waste any time in noticing it.
Actually, number 49 is related to a match played between KKR and RCB. In this match, RCB was bundled out for just 49 runs, which is the smallest score of any team in IPL history. Then what happened next, fans of both the teams clashed on social media and started targeting each other.

These numbers also attracted attention
Well, not only this, but KKR also used some historical numbers, which show the achievements of the franchise. However, in this too some were against RCB. For example, at one place the number 158 was shown, which was the score of KKR’s Brendon McCullum in the very first match of IPL history. That match was also against RCB. Similarly, 105/6 and 6 overs were written at one place. This is KKR’s biggest score in powerplay, which came against RCB in 2017 only. At one place, 272-7 was written on the number plate of the scooter. This is KKR’s biggest score in IPL, which came against Delhi Capitals last season.
KKR unveiled their jersey video today but it was all about trolling RCB.
