Royal Challengers Bangalore: Team of Big Names
The Royal Challengers Bangalore is an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise cricket team based in Bangalore, Karnataka. It was founded by United Spirits in 2008 and is named after the Royal Challenge liquor brand.
In front of the 2008 auction for players, the IPL has named Rahul Dravid as the Bangalore Franchise's icon player, which means Dravid is paying 15 percent more than the largest auction offerer. A number of Indian and international auction players including Jacques Kallis, Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, Mark Boucher, Dale Steyn, and Cameron White were also acquired from the franchise. They were also the winner of Virat Kohli in the second round of the auction for Ross Taylor, Misbah-ul-Haq, and India under-19 world cup. In the opening season, the team won only 4 of 14 matches, finishing 7th at the eight-team table.
Throughout India, and particularly in Bangalore, the Royal Challenged has a huge and passion for some fan base. The fans, known to be loyal and enthusiastic in their support, frequently appear for the home matches of RCB, transforming the stadium into a "red sea." They 're famous for their "R-C-B, R-C-B" chants and the Mexican coordinated wave in Chinnaswamy. The organizers of the stadium also send the fans of the home team cheering bags, RCB flags, and noisemakers among other items, as well as a Bold Army party.
The Royal Challengers never dominated the IPL, but ended up runners-up three times between 2009 and 2016. Their lack of success over the years, given the participation of various prominent players, has gained them the "underachievers" title. The team holds records with both the highest and lowest IPL numbers – 263/5 and 49, respectively.
