Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have not won any title in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but their quality players make them one of the strongest teams. 2016 is RCB’s best year so far in the IPL. That season, they came close to winning the title on the basis of the phenomenal batting performance of their captain Virat Kohli but could not win the final.
Although RCB has not won any trophy yet, they give tough competition to their opponents. Legendary names like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Daniel Vettori and Shane Watson were part of this team in the past. Looking at RCB’s IPL journey, we need to know the captains who dominated the three-time IPL runners-up with their captaincy abilities.
