The Indian Premier League, or IPL, has been around since 2008. Seven teams have won the championship so far. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians lead the pack with five wins each. Royal Challengers Bangalore, or RCB, is a fan favorite, but has it ever won the IPL title?
Actually, RCB did win a championship – just not the IPL. In 2024, they took home the Women’s Premier League title. They beat Delhi Capitals by eight wickets in the final. Virat Kohli has been to the IPL finals several times, but hasn’t won yet.
RCB’s Record
RCB has been to the IPL finals three times. They lost to Deccan Chargers in 2009 and Chennai Super Kings in 2011. Their last finals appearance was in 2016, when they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight runs. They haven’t made it back to the finals in eight years.
On the other hand, Smriti Mandhana led RCB to victory in the Women’s Premier League.
IPL 2025
This season, RCB is looking strong. They’ve won eight out of 13 matches, earning 17 points. They have a good shot at making it to the playoffs. Will this be their year?
Their fans are hopeful. With a solid team and a bit of luck, RCB might just bring home that elusive IPL title.
