Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore,also known as RCB, is the IPL franchise that represents Bangalore. In IPL 2008, the team won only 4 matches out of the 14 matches it played and was among the two teams that won the lowest number of matches. In batting, only Rahul Dravid, the captain, was able to put some efforts, scoring more than 300 runs in the tournament. There was so much confusion for the opening pair for team’s batting line-up that they had to try out 11 different opening combinations in 14 matches!
