MUMBAI: He may have clocked the fastest time on track, but Usain Bolt is now sprinting straight into cricket fandom again. The eight-time Olympic medallist has returned to spotlight his long-standing support for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, featuring in sportswear giant PUMA India’s latest #RCBEverywhere campaign. Dressed in the 2026 RCB jersey, Bolt shared the moment on social media, pairing it with a throwback to the kit he first received in 2021 marking a fandom that has only gathered pace since.
A self-confessed cricket enthusiast and admirer of Virat Kohli, Bolt’s association with RCB has evolved through Puma’s global athlete ecosystem. The brand, which has partnered with Bolt for over two decades, is now leveraging his cross-sport appeal to amplify RCB’s already global fan culture.
The campaign builds on a behaviour that fans have long embraced taking the jersey beyond stadiums and scales it with one of the most recognisable athletes in the world. Bolt’s earlier appearance alongside Kohli and RCB players in a viral reel last year further cemented his status as an unlikely yet enthusiastic member of the RCB faithful.
With #RCBEverywhere, Puma is not just selling merchandise, it is exporting fandom. The campaign invites supporters to join the movement, with opportunities to win match shirts and tickets, while participating in a global conversation that now stretches far beyond Bengaluru.
From Olympic tracks to IPL terraces, Bolt’s latest cameo proves one thing, speed may be his signature, but fandom travels just as fast.
