Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have been predominantly a batting powerhouse ever since the inception of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008.
The height of their dominance with the bat was witnessed during the 2010s, when the holy trinity of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, and AB de Villiers were at the peak of their powers.
