Royal Challengers Bangalore

Bengaluru-based Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) from Bengaluru and plays its home match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. But in IPL 2021, all matches will be played at neutral venues, no team will play at its home venue. All teams will play at 4 out of 6 venues during the league stage.
 
RCB owners
 
RCB is owned by United Spirits and it is one of the first eight teams that were founded in 2008. Despite having a very strong team on paper, Bangalore failed to win a single title in 13 years of Indian Premier League. RCB finished eighth in the 2017 edition and then finished sixth in IPL 2018.
 
RCB’s best performances in IPL history
 
RCB has played three finals in the IPL but lost all of them (in 2009 to the Deccan Chargers, in 2011 to the Chennai Super Kings and in 2016 to Sunrisers Hyderabad).
 
IPL 2019
 
In IPL 2019, Virat Kohli-led side RCB failed to make any impression as it languished at the bottom of the points table.
 
RCB in IPL 2020
 
The fortunes of Royal Challengers Bangalore changed in previous season as the marquee event moved out of India due to Covid-19 pandemic. RCB put a good show in the league phase and qualified for the playoffs after 4 years. But its campaign has ended in the eliminator as it failed to overcome Sunrisers Hyderabad.
 
RCB record
 
Interestingly, Bangalore holds the records for both highest and lowest totals in the IPL (263/5 and 49 all out respectively).
