Long years without a trophy, then two in a row: that is the short version of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru IPL records, with champions’ finishes in 2025 and 2026 after three lost finals.
Across 286 IPL games from Apr 2008 to May 2026, RCB won 143 and lost 137; three more were tied and three produced no result. Of the games with a winner, they took 51.1 per cent. The franchise played as Royal Challengers Bangalore until 2023, and those years sit under the current name here.
RCB Season by Season: Finals, Titles and Lean Years
RCB reached the final three times before they won one, in 2009, 2011 and 2016. The breakthrough came in 2025, with 11 wins from 15 games, and 2026 was just as strong with 11 wins from 16.
The season table makes the bad years plain. 2017 brought 3 wins from 13, and the club’s lowest total arrived that April: 49 all out inside 9.4 overs at Eden Gardens, Kolkata Knight Riders doing the damage. The opening season, 2008, yielded only 4 wins from 14.
Delhi Capitals are RCB’s favourite opponents, beaten 20 times with 13 losses from 35 meetings. Chennai Super Kings are the toughest, 14 wins against 21 defeats. Both stories are told in full on the DC vs RCB head to head and RCB vs CSK pages. Against the newer sides, RCB are 6 and 4 against Gujarat Titans (GT) and 5 and 3 against Lucknow Super Giants.

Kohli, de Villiers and Gayle: RCB's Run Scorers and Six Hitters
V Kohli (Virat Kohli) stands alone. His RCB tally is 9,336 runs from 275 innings, averaging 40.42, including 9 centuries and 68 half-centuries. AB de Villiers sits second on 4,491, striking at 158.64, and CH Gayle (Chris Gayle) third on 3,163, whose average of 43.33 is the highest of the three.
Kohli also tops the six count with 317, but Gayle’s 239 needed only 84 innings, far fewer than anyone near him. Gayle’s 175* from 66 balls against Pune Warriors, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Apr 2013, is the club’s best innings and came in its biggest total, 263/5. Read more about that year on the IPL 2013 records page.
Big totals have come back in recent seasons. Five of RCB’s eight highest totals came in 2024 or 2026, including 262/7 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and 254/5 against GT at Dharamsala. De Villiers won player of the match 23 times for RCB, once more than Kohli.
RCB's Leading Wicket Takers and Best Bowling
YS Chahal (Yuzvendra Chahal) heads the RCB wicket list on 139 from 112 games, each costing 22.04. HV Patel (Harshal Patel) follows on 99, his best a 5/27 versus Mumbai Indians in Apr 2021. Mohammed Siraj has 83, though at a costlier average of 31.45.
A Kumble (Anil Kumble) owns the club’s best figures, 5/5 from 3.1 overs versus Rajasthan Royals in Apr 2009. Just four RCB bowlers have a five-wicket haul. JR Hazlewood has 60 wickets from just 40 games, and his 4/12 versus Delhi Capitals in Apr 2026 is among the club’s best.
The most recent RCB match recorded here was a 5-wicket win over GT in Ahmedabad on 31 May 2026. For every season’s champion, see the IPL winners list.
