RCB’s Struggle for the Title: A Look at Their Past Finals Appearances
in IPL history, RCB has been one of the favourite teams of the fans. But unfortunately, it did not manage to win the title even once. RCB entered the finals thrice in 2009, 2011 and 2016, but was deprived of the title. Now in the presence of Kohli, the team would like to make history by performing boldly and winning the title for the first time.
It’s important to remember that no team should underestimate RCB. Last season, they lost seven out of eight matches and were at risk of being eliminated from the league stage. However, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, RCB made a remarkable comeback and reached the playoffs. With a strong squad this season, their only goal is to win the title.
