The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), headquartered in Bengaluru, was led by Virat Kohli. Faf du Plessis played their home matches at M.
Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the IPL 2021, all matches were played on general grounds, with no team playing in its home stadium. Instead, all teams played at four of the six venues during the league stage.
They have never bagged a trophy, but Royal Challengers Bangalore has been runners-up three times in IPL. In 2017, RCB finished ninth, while in 2018, they finished sixth. United Spirits own RCB, one of the original eight teams formed in 2008. However, Bangalore has never won a title in IPL history of 13 years despite a talented roster on paper.
Royal Challengers Bangalore had previously bought the best T20 players. Chris Gayle and AB De Villiers have contributed significantly to the franchise’s success. However, AB De Villiers’ departure has made it challenging for the franchise to find a competent captain.
After the IPL 2021 season, Virat Kohli said that he would step down as captain of the franchise and continue to play cricket. Faf Du Plessis has now taken his place as the captain of the team.
Both Dhawan and Finch are seasoned T20 players. While the team would have done well by acquiring them, they could not do so. He has been acquired by the Punjab Kings. In the presence of AB De Villiers and Glenn Maxwell, Finch has not previously had many opportunities. But he has now been acquired by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
If they could have him on board, David Warner may have been a massive addition to the team. He would have opened the batting with Virat Kohli, and they can eradicate any bowling attack. Warner, who led SRH to an IPL title in 2016, is also a leadership option for them. He is one of the most popular players in fantasy cricket for the same reason.

Fantasy cricket involves creating a virtual team on various apps in which you can win points based on the players on-field performances. And stand to win awesome prizes.
Bangalore’s Royal Challengers have selected Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Mohammed Siraj. Kohli and Maxwell were to be kept as veterans of this format. However, because AB de Villiers would have been on the retention list, his retirement made RCB’s selection issues easier. On the parallel side, other retained players were the highlights of the bidding and auctions.
