Sharing his thoughts on the new logo, Mallya took to Twitter and wrote: “Roar load like a Lion but bring the IPL trophy home to Bangalore.”

Moreover, the renowned businessman went on to suggest the franchise that skipper Virat Kohli should be given full freedom to guide the side to the title.

"Virat came to RCB from the India U-19 squad. Virat has led India to great success and has been an outstanding performer himself. Leave it to him and give him the freedom. All RCB fans want that long overdue IPL trophy," he further tweeted.

RCB had an underwhelming campaign in IPL 2019. With only 5 wins from 14 games, they finished the league stage as the bottom-placed team in the points table.

This was the third year in a row now that RCB failed to qualify for the play-offs round and the Bangalore-based franchise are yet to lift the trophy in 12 seasons. In fact, RCB's best performance till date across all the IPL editions is the runners-up finish in 2016.
