Karnataka postal circle has launched a special stamp for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Along with the stamp, a special RCB envelop has been launched with the profile shots of three of RCB's key players, Chris Gayle, Ab De Villiers and Captain Virat Kohli set in the foreground of the world's only solar powered cricket stadium - Chinaswamy Stadium, to recognise this season's Green Game on May 17 (Sunday).

It is a first of kind for any sports team within India and they deserve it as a recognition of their efforts towards saving the environment.”
