RCB has had a lot of big hitters in their squad over the years. Players like Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli have played most of their IPL careers for the RCB franchise. Some of the best T20 players like Ab De Villiers have also made a massive contribution to the team’s legacy.

Very recently, Faf Du Plessis also left a lasting impression with his swashbuckling batting displays. Despite all these big game players, unfortunately RCB has not had much success with their trophies, and often, they have yielded in front of good bowling lineups. It’d an interesting read into the RCB lowest scores in IPL history.
