Royal Challengers Bengaluru will script history when they take the field on Thursday to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. RCB will become only the second team in IPL’s history to play 250 matches.
Tough Spot
RCB are in a precarious place at the moment. Virat Kohli’s side are winless in their last six encounters, and are reeling at the 10th place. They are desperate to get back to winning ways, and will eye a win in their historic 250th game.
RCB right behind MI, but not in terms of IPL trophies
In IPL’s history, only Mumbai Indians have played more than 250 matches. The five-time IPL champions have played the most games among IPL teams in the tournament’s history. MI have played 255 games in IPL so far. RCB are second on the list, having played 249 games since 2008.

Another misery awaits RCB?
The game against SRH will be RCB’s 250th. They will look to take the historic moment to get back to winning ways. However, SRH have one of the most lethal batting line-ups in the tournament. If the likes of Travis Head, Aiden Markram or Heinrich Klaasen start firing again, we are afraid RCB will have a 250th game to forget.
