A journey to turn the tables for RCB

RCB had an abysmal season last time around as they finished as the cellar dweller of the tournament. Virat Kohli also wasn’t at his prime best form, which didn’t help the franchise’s cause to perform well in the championship. However, Kohli has been retained ahead of the retention ceremony on the backs of some stupendous performances for the national team.

The franchise would dearly wish to make amends and string together some impressive performances in the upcoming edition of the event. RCB is one of the few franchises who haven’t won the championship yet, Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab being the other two teams. The played the final in 2009 and 2015, however, were beaten comprehensively on both occasions by the Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively.
