IPL Retentions 2024: It is safe to say that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru outfit has one of the most passionate fans backing them. Unlike Chennai Super Kings , Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians , RCB do not have IPL trophies in their cabinet, but they’ve always enjoyed the backing of their fans. So far, in the history of the IPL , RCB have played three IPL finals (2009, 2011 and 2016).
The Bengaluru-based franchise came agonisingly close to winning the IPL in 2016, but they were outdone by David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad who edged past them for the IPL Trophy. RCB had their fair share of struggles in the 2024 season but they ended up winning six consecutive games to qualify for the playoffs. This has been touted as one of their greatest comebacks in the history of the tournament. Ahead of the 2025 season of the IPL, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru outfit will look to rope in few more matchwinners who can end their drought and help them to win the trophy for the first time.
