Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is one team that enjoys a massive fan following. Despite the team having some of the biggest superstars of t20 cricket around the world, the likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, chris Gayle, Glenn Maxwell, and faf du plessis among others, the team has failed to win a single title since the inaugural edition of the cash-rich league in 2008. This year too, the side has not lived up to the fan's expectation.
The Du Plessis-led side has played 7 matches so far and has only managed a solitary win in them, facing a loss in their six other fixtures. In their most recent fixture against Sunrisers hyderabad (SRH), Bengaluru conceded the highest team total ever in the history of the tournament as the Orange army piled on a mountain of runs, posting 287/3. In response, even though RCB posted 262/7- the highest total chasing in a t20, they fell short by 25 runs.
