Despite being part of the tournament since its inaugural season in 2008, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are one of the few teams yet to win the Indian Premier League title. Notably, RCB has played three IPL finals -- in 2009 (Deccan Chargers), 2011 (Chennai Super Kings), and 2016 (SunRisers Hyderabad) seasons -- but ended up losing on all three occasions. Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram feels that RCB would have won three IPL titles if MS Dhoni was their captain.
