IPL 2024 Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): Retained, Released, Target Players & Coaching Staff : The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finish another year hoping to capture the championship. However, Alas! As always, all they can hope for is the affection of their supporters. The ‘Ee Sala Cup Namde’ must be the most famous term in Karnataka and among RCB supporters worldwide, and it will stay so for another year.
RCB has the largest fanbase in the history of local league clubs, and it recently became the most-followed team on Instagram with the highest number of Instagram interactions in Asia. King Kohli is the most popular cricketer right now. Apart from his RCB, he has already worked with renowned cricketers such as Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers.
This season, RCB struggled and came short of making the top four. If we look at the reasons for RCB’s poor performance this year, it should eventually come down to each player’s responsibility for their performance. With another poor season behind them, the RCB camp must be considering which players to keep and who to let go.
Here’s how RCB should look in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
