Over The Years – Throwback:
One of the best team in the IPL is finally heading to its 13th season for a title win. The team with the highest fan base and support will definitely need to show its worth for waiting so many years without a title. RCB were three time finalists, but failed every time by a very low margin which is really not acceptable. The team also produced one of the best batting line up in the world which once had legends like Kohli, De Villers, Gayle, KL Rahul, Rahul Dravid, Watson, Pietersen, Taylor and many more. Seeing such a lineup, the opponents once used to literally get shivered as once you lose control in your bowling then your dead. The rest would be history. The team had changed its jersey in the year 2016 after it lost its former owner Mr. Vijay Mallya (Liquor Baron – Kingfisher co. Ltd). The team officially was then adopted by United Spirits and also gained a new identity.
The Home ground:
We are about to discuss about one of the noisiest stadiums in the world. Yes, you heard that right it’s none other than the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. It has a crowd capacity of 40000, with well ventilated and super cool atmosphere. You get to find some very big shots and some which can also disappear out of the stadium since the ground provides short boundaries making it easy to the batsmen. Watching RCBian ground go mad here is indeed a delight to watch to all RCB fans.

Stars From RCB:
We will have a look at all the players who got familiar by playing for RCB. At first we have the captain himself who first played for RCB, and then got impressed by fans which led him to his path to play for India. We also have others like Chahal, S Dube, KL Rahul, Ab De Villiers, Sarfaraz Khan, R Taylor who gained momentum by playing for RCB at their career beginning years. The RCB has also given some quality pacers like Navdeep Saini and Varun Aaron to the Indian team. Hence RCB has indeed given rise to many young talents.
GO Green Initiative (RCB 2020):
Every year the RCB team wears the green jersey on one of their home games to promote Green life and afforestation. The team has also officially confirmed that this initiative will continue every year to support a good cause and for the betterment of Bengaluru City.
Latest Update:
The RCB 2020 team has officially landed at the UAE on 21st of August along with their 12th man and MR. Nags, who will also look to produce more of RCB insider shows once their quarantine gets over. The RCB are currently at the Waldorf Astoria hotel spending their 7 day quarantine. They will soon be starting the practice sessions immediately after the quarantine period. We expect this goes on to be a really good season for the bold army and RCB are this IPLs favouritees.
