Fans criticise RCB for launching Hindi X account
Bengaluru: The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cricket team’s decision to launch a Hindi X account on October 24 has sparked a mixed response from its fans. The account, which has posted only five tweets so far, has gained around 2,500 followers as of November 28.
The move has faced backlash from Kannada activists and fans, who accuse the team’s management of prioritising Hindi over Kannada. Many expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, with one user even initiating an online campaign urging the management to reconsider the decision.
The account has shared AI-generated videos of players acquired during the recent IPL auction, including one where England batter Liam Livingstone conveys greetings to fans in Hindi.
However, some fans have supported the move, arguing that RCB’s global fan base makes it necessary to transcend language barriers. They emphasised that the Hindi account aims to serve a diverse audience and should not be seen as divisive.
