The Rise and Fall of RCB: A History of the Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most popular and beloved franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Founded in 2008, RCB has had its fair share of highs and lows, with a passionate fan base that has stuck with the team through thick and thin. In its early years, RCB was a force to be reckoned with. Led by charismatic captain Rahul Dravid, the team reached the finals of the IPL in 2009, only to be defeated by the Deccan Chargers. The following year, under the leadership of Anil Kumble, RCB made it to the semi-finals but fell short of the ultimate prize.
