In the recent past, the team received criticism for not including the term “Bengaluru” in their name. A number of celebrities, especially, Kannada film personalities have been the ones who have urged the team to consider the name change and give homegrown talent more opportunities to play.
RCB has cricket stars like Virat Kohli (the captain), Chris Gayle, and AB de Villiers in the team. However, even then the team has never been able to bag one IPL trophy since the event initially started. On top of that, Kohli has been the Captain for this team for seven seasons and hasn’t been able to live up to the captaincy expectations. Even though that is the case, Mike Hesson, the Director of Cricket has revealed that RCB’s leadership structure will not be altered this year.
