The Indian Premier League (IPL) has never been kind to Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB). Even after having a plethora of match-winners like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Dale Steyn, the franchise has never been able to win a single title. After a dismal show in the edition, many experts believed that the RCB management needs to go on the drawing board and rethink every aspect of their strategy.

And it seems like the franchise has heard them.

Embodying the bold pride and the challenger spirit, we have unleashed the rampant lion returning him to the Royal lineage.

There were numerous reports doing rounds that team might change the name or the jersey for the forthcoming season. But as of now, there is no confirmation, if those changes will be made. The side has also got a new sponsor in the form of Muthoot Fincord Ltd.

With the change of the logo and sponsor, the Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hoping to change their luck too. Till now, they haven’t won a title but would be hungry to open their account with the new edition.

Virat Kohli will lead the side once again while players AB de Villiers, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Navdeep Saini will be doing their best for their skipper.

The 13^th edition of the Indian Premier League starts from March 29.
