The RCB team has reached the milestone of 100 wins in the IPL series.
RCB in the IPL series.
RCB is one of the dominant teams in the IPL series. It is considered as one of the leading teams since the past few years. But relinquished its responsibility last year. Kohli, who has captained the Royal Challengers since 2014, stepped down as captain last year. He led Bangalore to 7 IPL series but failed to win the IPL trophy. But he had announced that he would play for the RCB team till the last. The team subsequently retained him for Rs 15 crore.
Team change.
De Villiers, one of the pillars of the RCB team and a close friend of former captain Kohli, has announced his retirement from the IPL series since last year. The announcement by De Villiers, who has been playing for the team for more than 10 years, was a setback for the team. But now he has been appointed by the team management as a consultant to the team.
Du Plessis of South Africa has been announced as the new captain following the resignation of Kohli. He has already led the South African team. He has also been one of the key players in the Chennai Super Kings team that has won the trophy four times in the IPL series. Du Plessis, 37, is the oldest captain this year.
