The team
The Royal Challengers Bangalore are looking for their first IPL title win in 2016 after having finished as runner-up twice: 2009 and 2011. India’s star batsman, Virat Kohli, has been made the captain of the side and he will be looking to bounce back after the recent World T20 semi-final defeat.
