All-Time Royal Challengers Bangalore XI
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have emerged to be one of the most entertaining franchises of Indian Premier League over the years. They are three times finalist of IPL (2009, 2011, 2016) and one-time finalist of CLT20 (2012). Despite having a large pool of star-studded players and huge fan following, they are still deprived of the much coveted IPL title.
Now, we have decided to make the best eleven of RCB over the years by keeping their stats for the franchise as the basis.
Results would have been different if RCB had the following XI donning the team's jersey.
