RCB Unbox event 2025: The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is gearing up for the RCB Unbox event 2025 on Monday (March 17) for the third straight time, with lots of surprises expected. First held in 2022, the franchise has used the RCB Unbox event to officially start the season, launch jerseys and introduce the whole squad to the fans live.

Another eye-catching aspect of the RCB Unbox event is that the franchise inducts Hall of Fame every year. While legends AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle were inducted into the RCB Hall of Fame in 2022, R Vinay Kumar joined the list the following year.

Although nothing is confirmed, it won't be surprising if Dinesh Karthik is inducted into the Hall of Fame this time. The wicketkeeper retired from IPL last year and was appointed as the batting coach of RCB for IPL 2025.
