In search of their first-ever IPL title, RCB have added the likes of Aaron Finch, Chris Morris, Dale Steyn and Kane Richardson to their squad. And with the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villers leading the side, the Bangalore side will surely fancy their chances of a maiden win.
IPL 2020 was initially planned to take place in March 2020 but had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, with the suspension of Asia Cup and World T20 2020, the competition finally received a green-light to go ahead, though in UAE.
RCB last reached the final in 2016 but since then have failed to build on that, finishing 8th, 6th and 8th in their last three seasons. So Virat Kohli will be eager to take the field and break their run when the competition starts later this year.
