Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a popular franchise in the IPL but have not managed to win a single IPL trophy, since the tournament’s inception in 2008. However, that has not deterred the fans from coming in large numbers, staying loyal and supporting the team.
The fans support the franchise whole heartedly on social media and also in the stadium, despite the lack of success in the tournament. They are one of the most supported teams in the IPL and one player who has been at the centre of all of it is Virat Kohli.
Kohli has been synonymous with the franchise right from the first season in 2008. So, he has become an identity of the RCB franchise. Meanwhile, veteran Indian spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin has praised RCB’s loyal fan base.

Ashwin said that the RCB fans love Virat Kohli to the core and do get depressed when there is trolling of the franchise and Kohli on social media.
He called the RCB fans as the most loyal fans in the IPL and called the team as one of the most consistent teams in the tournament in the last ten years despite not managing to win the title.
“RCB fans love Virat Kohli. So many get depressed seeing the trolling going on social media, but RCB is a god gifted franchise with the most loyal fanbase. Their fans always stood by them, RCB is one of the most consistent teams in last 10 years”. (Ashwin YT).
RCB fans are a passionate bunch, aren’t they? Every season, they dive into the IPL with a fervor that’s almost palpable. They’re not just fans; they’re a community united by their love for red and gold. Each match is a rollercoaster, with highs that touch the sky and lows that, well, make for interesting memes. But through it all, their spirit for RCB never wanes.
