RCB vs RR Head-to-Head

Out of 30 encounters so far, Royal Challengers Bangalore have won 15 while Rajasthan Royals have won 12 and 3 matches were without any result.

Despite having an ensemble of talented players over the years, Royal Challengers Bangalore has not been able to win an IPL Trophy. RCB made it to the IPL finals thrice, in 2009, 2011 and 2016. One of RCB's iconic players, Virat Kohli, has been an integral part of the team since its inception. Legends who have played for RCB include Dale Steyn, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and Virat Kohli. Ahead of the 2024 IPL, Faf Du Plessis will hold the position of team captain.

After winning the inaugural Indian Premier League in 2008, the Rajasthan team had a great start to their career. They were successfully led by skipper Shane Warne. After this, the franchise had its ups and downs as they were expelled twice from the IPL, first in 2010 and later in 2015 due to the inquiry on the Lodha Committee. The squad added elite players like Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shimron Hetmyer, Devdutt Padikkal, and Yuzvendra Chahal in order to strengthen their lineup in the 2022 mega auction. As a result, the team had an amazing season but unfortunately finished as runners up. RR lost to the debutant Gujrat Titans led by Hardik Pandya.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has played the Rajasthan Royals for a total of 28 times in IPL. Out of which the Royal Challengers have won 15 times while Rajasthan Royals have won 12 times and 3 of the matches have yielded no results.

In their first head-to-head on the 26th of April 2008, Rajasthan Royals defeated the team from Bangalore by 8 wickets. The results from their recent encounter in 2022 were no different where the Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious once again, defeating the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets in Qualifier 2.
