Forget the past! Royal Challengers Bengaluru are no longer the perennial bridesmaids of the IPL; they’re rocking the crown and strutting in as defending champions. With the ‘Ee Sala Cup Namde’ chants echoing, this isn't just any season—it’s a chance to prove they’re not a one-hit wonder!

Their 2025 campaign was nothing short of a masterclass, as they clinically dismantled the Punjab Kings in the final. The squad looks sharper than ever, with game-changers ready to tonk the opposition. The balance between explosive batting and crafty bowling could see RCB dominate once again, but can they handle the pressure of expectations this time?

As the new season kicks off, all eyes will be on how they manage their newfound status. Can the likes of Faf du Plessis lead the charge to a back-to-back title? Or will the weight of the crown prove too heavy? The stage is set for a thrilling IPL 2026, and RCB are here to make it count!
