ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE — BEST CHANCE YET

Despite being a glamorous side, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have never won the IPL. This season, Virat Kohli’s side seem keen to rectify that aberration. They are in the third spot behind the Delhi Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings, with 27 league matches left in Season 14. Unlike the previous editions, RCB forged into the lead quite early in the tournament and kept their chances alive with a string of fine victories.
