[IPL 2024] Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) schedule, fixtures, dates, timings and all you need to know

Royal challengers Bangalore will play their first IPL 2024 game against Chennai Super Kings on 22nd March.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head into Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with renewed hope. Led by experienced captain Faf du Plessis, they boast a strong batting lineup featuring stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell. Additionally, the team bolstered their bowling attack with key buys during the auction like Alzarri Joseph and have traded Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians.

RCB’s strengths lie in their experienced batting core and a balanced bowling attack, comprising both pace and spin options. However, they might face challenges with middle-order consistency and over-reliance on a few key bowlers for success.

Royal Challengers finished 6th in IPL 2023

The Royal Challengers Bangalore finished the IPL 2023 season in sixth place. Despite boasting a strong batting lineup with players like Kohli and Maxwell, they only managed to secure seven wins out of their 14 matches, facing seven losses. This translated to 14 points and a net run rate of + 0.135.

While their performance wasn’t enough to qualify for the playoffs, RCB displayed glimpses of brilliance throughout the season. However, inconsistency plagued their campaign, preventing them from achieving their full potential. They will be looking to address these shortcomings and build a stronger challenge in the upcoming season.
