Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have been one of the perennial underachievers in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The team has been backed by legions of fans and stacked with some of the best players in the game, yet somehow, they have not gotten over the line and landed an IPL trophy in their cabinet. RCB is one of the four teams in the IPL that have never won a trophy. Like every season, this time, too, their fans have renewed hope that it just might be their year. RCB however, had a campaign they would like to forget. The team has managed just three wins in 10 matches and will look to do well in their remaining matches. Mathematically, they can still qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs with four matches remaining, but given their form, doing that seems quite unlikely at the moment.

Faf du Plessis and his team have six more matches left in this edition of the tournament, and they need at least win their remaining matches to stand a chance at qualifying. RCB are one of the most followed teams in the IPL, and their fans hope this is the year the team can win the tournament for the first time in history. RCB have gotten close to winning the IPL in the past, falling short on three occasions–2009, 2011 and 2016 but this time, they have renewed hopes of going past the line. The franchise also has had a name change–rechristening itself from Royal Challengers Bengaluru from Royal Challengers Bangalore with the hope of ushering in a new era, potentially with a title win.
