The world's biggest and best T20 league, the Indian Premier League is around the corner. The 2018 season will be the 11th season of IPL and will be held from 7 April to 27 May 2018.
Royal Challengers Bangalore is considered by many as one the unluckiest teams in the Indian Premier League. Despite having so many star players over the years, they are yet to win the trophy. Inconsistency has always been RCB's main issue in the Indian Premier League. However, a new season brings with new hopes for the Virat Kohli led team.
Here is a look at Royal Challengers Bangalore 's historyin IPL so far :-
