IPL 2023: The Indian Premier League is one of the most popular and profitable sports tournaments in the world and is watched by nearly half a billion people around the world. The event was hampered by the pandemic the past few years but is now back to its old ways. It’s bigger, bolder and promises to be better than ever.
Ten teams are participating in the IPL this year, but no other team grabs eyeballs like Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB has been part of the IPL since its inaugural season and features Indian cricket giant Virat Kohli in its stunning lineup. Hopefully, RCB will fare better in the IPL 2023 than in the previous seasons.
The TATA IPL 2023 began on March 31 and will continue till May 28.

IPL Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Team History
Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the original eight franchises of the IPL and has played in every iteration of the tournament since its inception in 2008. RCB is owned by United Spirits. RCB has reached the IPL finals three times in 2009, 2011 and 2016, losing all three to Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, respectively.
Even after a stacked lineup of veteran domestic and international players over the years like Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, AB de Villers, Chris Gayle, Anil Kumble and Zaheer Khan, RCB has never lifted the IPL cup. The team has become a butt of memes on social media due to this, and Captain Kohli often comes under fire from the netizens. RCB has the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore as its home ground.
