In the history of the IPL, the Royal Challengers Bangalore has one of the most substantial fan bases. With players like Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers, Anil Kumble, and other well-known names, the RCB is the most endearing squad in the IPL. Seven times in total, the team has qualified for the playoffs successfully. They came close to winning the IPL championship in 2009 but ultimately placed second. The same thing occurred in 2011 and 2016, with the latter being a standout year for RCB thanks to Captain Kohli's mammoth 973-run performance, which remains the most remarkable run total in IPL history.
