Owned by Indian tycoon Mr. Vijay Mallya, Royal Challengers Bangalore has kind of under-achieved having never won the Indian Premier League title in the first 8 seasons. They did qualify for the finals in 2009, 2011 and most recently in 2016 but failed to pass the final hurdle. This year they have a very solid batting lineup as they retained all their key players from 2016 squad. Lets take a look at Royal Challengers Bangalore squad.

What to expect from Royal Challengers ?

They have probably the strongest batting lineup of all eight teams but they lack depth and cutting edge with in their bowling department. Chris Gayle, AB deVillers and Virat Kohli are capable enough to win games single handedly and RCB will be there and there about in the knockout stages.
