Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are currently second in the IPL 13 points table.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have finally managed to get their amazing looking side, turning it on the field in IPL 2020. With 7 wins in 10 games, they are at par with the best-placed team on the points table this year, Delhi Capitals, but are behind them on the Net Run Rate.
After comprehensively beating their arch-rivals Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on October 21, the team is on a high to grab the No. 1 spot in IPL 13.

The franchise released a video on their official Twitter handle where their veteran wicketkeeper-batsman AB de Villiers is looking inspired to take his team to the top of the points table this season.
In the video posted by RCB, AB de Villiers said, "... With it, we can also send a message to the other teams that we are here to finish at the top of the table and to not just qualify for the playoffs. I really think we have the ability to do that."
The South African superstar is aware of the fact that a team needs to have the mental edge in order to finish at the top of everybody else. He has stated that the team will be taking it one hurdle at a time.
The 36-year-old said, "There is definitely a mental edge that a team takes in finishing at the top, having been the most consistent team over 14 matches against the best teams in the IPL."
"So, we will definitely be focusing on that. We know that we will have to take it one hurdle at a time though," he added.
