Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the top teams in the Indian Premier League. The Bangalore franchise is owned by Vijay Mallya’s UB Group and coached by Ray Jennings.Led by Daniel Vettori, they are heavily dependent on Chris Gayle, who almost single-handedly took them to the final of the previous season.

RCB were runners-up in IPL 2009 and 2011 seasons which have been best performances in the tournament so far.

Their star Indian batsman Virat Kohli, with stupendous performances Down Under and in the recently-concluded Asia Cup, will no doubt be RCB’s trump card in the fifth edition of the IPL, starting April 5.
