Star Indian pacer and one of the key members of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Umesh Yadav, has said that he desires to win the IPL 2020 trophy for the RCB fans this year. IPL 2020 is all set to take place from September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after much deliberations over the tournament.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be chasing their maiden IPL title this year. In the last 12 seasons, RCB have failed to do so even after having a plethora of world-class superstars in the team including Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and Virat Kohli. This has also raised questions on Virat Kohli’s leadership abilities with the team failing to capitalize more often than not.

RCB have had a title drought in the Indian Premier League ever since the inception of the tournament way back in 2008. They were on the brink of winning the title in 2016 but David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed their hopes by beating RCB in the final of IPL 2016. RCB will be looking to win their maiden IPL title this year and give something to the fans to cherish.
