Romario Shepherd said the support for Royal Challengers Bengaluru goes beyond venues, with fans chanting the team’s name even during international matches.

RCB, RCB’ chants travel worldwide, says Romario Shepherd

“When I am playing for West Indies in other parts of the world, people are still chanting ‘RCB, RCB’. When you walk out to represent RCB, you realise it is more than just a franchise. It feels like a family,” he said.

RCB will face Rajasthan Royals on April 10 in Guwahati. The venue does not host them often, making it a rare chance for local fans to watch Virat Kohli in action. Kohli remains the central figure for the franchise, and his presence is expected to draw strong crowd support despite it not being a regular home venue.

Form and fan base build momentum

RCB come into the game after two consecutive wins, showing control in both departments. The results have given them early momentum in the tournament.

Their fan base has remained consistent across venues, with strong support even away from home. Shepherd’s remarks underline how that following extends beyond the IPL into global cricket.

With form on their side and a travelling fan base behind them, RCB are likely to get loud backing in Guwahati, turning the April 10 match into a key occasion for both teams.
