#4 Support: Team management and crazy fan base

Daniel Vettori, who assumes the role of head coach, forms a great partnership with Virat Kohli, the duo, having played together for the franchise in the past. In fact, Virat took over the captaincy reigns from the veteran Kiwi cricketer who helped RCB clinch 15 victories in 28 games as captain.

Gary Kirsten, who was the man behind India’s 2011 World Cup success, and veteran Indian bowler Ashish Nehra, who retired from all forms of cricket last year, join the team as it’s batting and bowling coaches respectively. The two stars will also play the role of mentors during the league for the Bangalore boys.

When it comes to fans, Royal Challengers Bangalore boasts of one of the craziest following for teams across the globe. The 40,000 plus crowd gets involved in the Mexican waves and chants of ‘R-C-B’ that do the rounds of the Chinnaswamy on all match days.

Although the team has not returned their support with an IPL trophy in ten long years, RCB fans proudly support them in all their highs and lows.
