Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the teams which despite having big names in their squad have not been able to win a single IPL trophy. They have reached the finals three times but have failed to cross the last hurdle on all three occasions. Similarly, Punjab Kings (Previously named as Kings XI Punjab) too are yet to win an IPL title. They were runners-up in the IPL 2014 season where they lost to KKR in the finals. However, they did not make it to a single playoff since 2014. RCB beat PBKS in the only meeting of the league phase in IPL 2023 in Mohali.
Both teams will meet on 25th March for IPL 2024 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
These sides have met in 31 IPL matches so far with the Royal Challengers winning on 14 occasions and the Kings on 17.
(Current Team – RCB)
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell are leading the table when these two teams met in the past. However, Captain Plessis has a very healthy average. Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow are the leading run-scorers from PBKS as per records.
(Current Team – PBKS)
Harshal Patel and Chris Woakes are the former players of RCB and Harshal Patel is leading this table when these two teams met each other. It will be so interesting to see how he bowls this season against RCB batters. Glenn Maxwell once played for the Punjab Franchise as well. Still, he was to as effective as he is known for when these two teams clashed.
