The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), a beloved franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), marked a milestone by playing their 250th game, becoming the second IPL team to achieve this feat after the Mumbai Indians. Despite their ups and downs, including three final appearances without a title win yet, RCB boasts a dedicated fanbase and has been home to iconic players like Virat Kohli.
Before their 250th match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, RCB had a record of 117 wins, 127 losses, and four no-results out of 249 matches, maintaining a win percentage of 46.18%. Kohli and other players expressed gratitude for their loyal fans, acknowledging their unwavering support over 17 years.
Although Royal Challengers Bangalore hasn’t clinched an IPL trophy, they’ve made significant playoff appearances and hold several individual records. Kohli, who joined the team in 2008, has been a stalwart, amassing over 7,600 runs, the most by a player in a single franchise. Yuzvendra Chahal leads in wickets, while Mohammed Siraj has been a standout performer too.
Despite challenges this season, RCB aims to secure a playoff spot by winning their remaining matches. Currently, Kohli leads in runs while Yash Dayal shines as their top wicket-taker. With notable milestones and a committed squad, the team continues its journey in IPL 2024.
