Fans found something fishy when Punjab Kings (PBKS) unveiled their new jersey ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. On Tuesday (March 30), PBKS, formerly known as Kings XI Punjab, took to Twitter and shared a video of their new red and golden-cladded jersey. While the design was different from the Kings XI Punjab jersey last year, several fans pointed out similarities between PBKS’ latest jersey and RCB’s old kit. The Bangalore-based team also sported a similar jersey in the first three seasons of IPL, and fans were quick to highlight the fact. Punjab Kings' New IPL 2021 Jersey Launched: Check Out PBKS's Latest Kit for Indian Premier League 14.

Like PBKS’ new design, RCB also used to sport a red and golden-cladded jersey in the first few seasons before switching to red and black. Hence, many fans trolled the Mohali-based franchise for copying the old design. Even pictures of Virat Kohli with the old RCB jersey also got viral on social media.

One thing which is undoubtedly similar between RCB and PBKS is that both are yet to win an IPL title. While Virat Kohli’s men advanced to the playoffs last season, KL Rahul and Co had a rather dismal campaign as they were sixth in the final team standings.

Nevertheless, both teams have made some notable inclusion in the auction event and would be raring to get over the line. IPL 2021 gets underway on April 9, with RCB and Mumbai Indians crossing swords in the season opener. All teams face a different challenge this season as the crowd will not enter the stadiums while no team will play at their home venue.
