Royal Challengers Bangalore will be vying for their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy next season, which starts on Friday. In the opener, RCB will take on defending champions Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. All eyes are now on the men’s side as the RCB women’s team bring glory to the team after winning the Women’s Super League title for the first time. RCB failed to win the IPL title despite having one of the strongest teams.
Recently, former RCB batsman AB de Villiers said that he hopes the men’s team can replicate the success of the women’s team and win their first trophy.
“It’s destiny. The girls have done it and now the boys are coming to the party. The stranglehold is broken; I think that’s it this year. For the boys, that’s what it is. I really believe they can win it; they Will win. Listen, you have to be patient. Sports is a funny thing. It’s unpredictable otherwise it’s boring. Once the RCB men’s team gets one win, there will be more. Hopefully. We are going from strength to strength,” de Villiers told News18 program ‘Rise Up Bharat Summit’.
“There were nine other superstar teams and apart from RCB, many teams have not won. We tried our best. We were close but lost three times in the final. We had chances everywhere and we There will be their own opportunity to blame, but the legacy left by the seniors over the past few years will be carried forward,” he added.
Former Australia pacer Brett Lee, who was involved in the discussion, pointed out that a change in name and jersey could change RCB’s fortunes.
Ahead of IPL 2024, RCB changed its name from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
“I went through all the teams, 10 teams, and not because he was sitting next to me, I actually thought RCB had a good chance this year. I wouldn’t bet against them. They have the best team ever. “It’s been many years, maybe in a different way. In India, there are a lot of superstitions. They change their names, the colors of their clothes. That might be the case this year,” Lee said.
