History

In September 2007, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the establishment of the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 competition to be started in 2008. The teams for the competition, representing 8 different cities of India, including Bangalore, were put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February 2008. The Bangalore franchise was purchased by Vijay Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid for a team, next only to Reliance Industries' bid of US$111.9 million for the Mumbai Indians.

The brand value of Royal Challengers Bangalore was estimated to be ₹595 crore (US$75 million) in 2019, according to a survey conducted by Duff & Phelps.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a professional cricket team based in Bangalore, India. The team was founded in 2008 and is owned by United Spirits, a subsidiary of the British alcoholic beverages company Diageo. The team is captained by Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and coached by former New Zealand cricketer Mike Hesson.

The team also has a good bowling attack, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Navdeep Saini being the standout performers.
