Notably, Royal Challengers Bengaluru has not reached an IPL final since 2016. The Bengaluru-based franchise reached the finals thrice in 2009, 2011, and 2016 but lost the title to the now-defunct Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings, and SunRisers Hyderabad, respectively.
Kuldeep Yadav set to return to action with England ODIs
Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav last played for India in the home Test series against New Zealand, where he suffered a groin injury that required surgery, and since then, the chinaman bowler has been sidelined. He has been recovering at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
However, Kuldeep is now gearing up for his comeback in the upcoming three-match ODI series against England, starting on February 6. He was also named in India’s squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but before this event, England ODIs are crucial for him to rediscover his rhythm and prove his match-winning abilities once again
