The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans were left laughing rolling on the floor when they found out their RCB’s kite had come second in a kite festival in Ahmedabad among the 10 IPL teams.
A day before the Makar Sankranti festival, Star Sports organized a Kite festival, which they named ‘Indian Patang League’, in Ahmedabad, with fans flying the kits of all 10 teams.
