RCB have been one of most popular teams in Indian Premier League (IPL). Over years, y have had some high-profile names like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli within ir ranks but y haven't quite tasted glory. RCB have reached finals of IPL on three occasions but haven't mand to get hold of trophy.

As strong as ir batting is, RCB's bowling hasn't really been able to leave an impact in tournament. Despite posting gigantic totals on scoreboard, RCB have t mand to defend total on several occasions. y are often criticized for ir dismal bowling performances at death. Besides Yuzvendra Chahal, RCB doesn't have a match-winning bowler within ir ranks.

And despite t living up to expectations, RCB is always considered as favourites going into tournament. Virat Kohli would look to right his wrongs from past seasons and his performances along with AB de Villiers' will be key in determining how far RCB go in tournament.  IPL dates haven't been anunced yet. However, IPL dates are soon expected to be anunced after BCCI's meeting with franchises.
