Bangalore Royal Challengers | Indian Premier League (IPL)
Bangalore Royal Challengers owned by Dr Vijay Mallya and not surprisingly the team is named after one of his top brands.
Bangalore is known as the Garden City and the team is being led by one of it's favoured sons Rahul Dravid who is also its Icon Player. Probably the best line up in IPL cricket with the likes of Indian Test cricket captain Anil Kumble, Praveen Kumar and Zaheer Khan, West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Aussies Nathan Bracken and Cameron White, South Africa's Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Dale Steyn.
Team Management is made up of Charu Sharma as CEO former Kiwi captain Martin Crowe also makes up part of the management team with Venkatesh Prasad as team coach.
Bangalore by their own standards didn't do too well last season and heads rolled now with a new administration and top players brought in everyone is expecting great things from this team. For me the jury is still out.
Latest acquisition: England's, Kevin Pietersen, was captured by the highest bid couple this with rising New Zealand star, Jesse Ryder. Expect great things from this team.
Bangalore has produced some of the greatest Indian cricketers like GR Viswanath, BS Chandrashekar, EAS Prasanna, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath and Rahul Dravid.
