NDTV
The hate against RCB is the latest in the ongoing language row in Karnataka
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is drawing fire for launching a Hindi account on X, with a section of social media users accusing the IPL franchise of imposing Hindi on Kannada speakers. Another section of fans, however, defended the move, saying that RCB has a global fan base and the Hindi account caters to the team's diverse supporters.
RCB, which has English and Kannada accounts on X, launched a Hindi account on Sunday. It currently has over 2,500 followers. One of its first posts was a video in which RCB's ace cricketer Virat Kohli, in a Hindi message, shares his joy at being retained by the franchise. The post's caption said RCB's videos are now available in Hindi too.
In the comments section, many users slammed the IPL franchise for launching the Hindi handle. While some said this had disrespected the Kannada culture, others asked RCB to move to north India. Some users said RCB must remove Bengaluru from its name, while others questioned why the Hindi account was needed.
