Our Take
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have claimed themselves as the brand ambassadors of the IPL 2026. Even if we take a look at all the games which were most viewed this season, the top four games include RCB. This shows that all the cricket fans were eager to witness the King and his Kingdom on the field, as they dominate the entire tournament.
