Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has not won a single trophy in the IPL so far. Despite having great players like Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, Virat Kohli, and Faf Du Plessis at the helm, RCB did not get the title. However, former South African batsman AB de Villiers has made a surprising prediction before the 17th season. He said that RCB’s title drought could end in IPL 2024. Let us tell you that De Villiers played for RCB for 10 years before retiring from cricket. He retired after the 2021 season.

When De Villiers was asked whether he thinks RCB will win the trophy this year, he said, ‘Yes, I hope so.’ Let us tell you that RCB did not reach the playoffs in IPL 2023.
