RCB
are
eyeing
to
win
their
maiden
IPL
this
year.
The
Bangalore-based
franchise
have
never
tasted
glory
in
their
16-year
existence
and
will
be
keen
to
take
the
next
step
and
win
the
IPL
this
season.

This
is
also
the
first
time
IPL
returning
to
Bangalore
since
2019.
The
franchise
tournament
was
largely
limited
to
UAE
and
a
cluster
of
cities
in
India
last
season
due
to
the
COVID-19.
RCB
are
being
led
by
South
African
veteran
Faf
du
Plessis
after
Virat
Kohli
stepped
down
from
the
leadership
duties
last
year.
