Lately, RCB has been winning hearts online after its women's team secured their first-ever WPL title on Sunday. The Smriti Mandhana-led side won this year's WPL after beating Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets in the final at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. 

With this remarkable win, the team also ended the franchise's 16-year- wait for the trophy. While the women's team has made the franchise and fans proud after this win, the RCB men's team is yet to script history in the Indian Premier League. Although RCB has been a part of IPL since its inaugural season in 2008, they are yet to win the coveted trophy.

On Friday (March 22), RCB will take on MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
