Even though having a great batting driving force, Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is still searching for that day when they will finally win the title championship. The team which claims of some of the most dynamic batsmen in the cricket world, also including Captain Virat Kohli, the team still doesn’t get the title.
The team made its entry to the finale for the three times but still end up as the runner-ups. Well, the batting department of the team mostly managed to give the lead to the team but it is only the lack of depth in bowling attack which let the team move backward. After seeing many performances we can easily say that the bowling department of RCB is the most likely drawback of the team which needs to be rectified.
Today we are going to talk about Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from their performances to this year’s edition schedule and also full squad and much more.
