IPL 2023: South African legend AB de Villiers has made a bold prediction regarding Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The RCB could win multiple Indian Premier League (IPL) championships once they break free and end their trophy drought, according to the former RCB player. Despite having advanced to three finals since the competition’s inception and with legends like Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli in the team, RCB has failed to claim the IPL title.

Prior to the auction, RCB finished third in the 2022 season and retained the majority of their players for IPL 2023.
Even though there are still about four months until the start of the next season, they have developed a strong core, and Virat Kohli’s return to form should be a huge plus for the team.
Talking with Star Sport, former RCB great AB de Villiers talked about the team’s chance in IPL 2023.
“It’s been how many seasons now? Quite a few, 14 or 15 or whatever. So, they would love to break the shackles. I think if RCB wins one then, they’ll probably win two, three, four quickly but let’s wait and see what happens, T20 cricket is a bit of a gamble sometimes, anything can happen. Especially knockout games, but hopefully RCB’s turn is around the corner,” he said.
Speaking about what RCB meant to him, De Villiers said: “I absolutely love RCB, it’s meant the world for me, it’s changed my life. I have been there since 2011, I’ve made friends for life, it’s part of me and my family and that’s what we do, you know? We are all RCBians.”
