Royal Challengers Bengaluru (IPL): 3 seasons of league tables — position, points, net run rate — and who actually played.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru appear in 3 of our Indian Premier League tables, from 2024 to 2026, with 25 wins and 16 defeats from 42 league matches. Their best finish in this set is 1, in 2026; their lowest is 4, in 2024. Fixtures like these sit at the centre of [cricket betting in India](/en-in), and Cricketin covers them in rupees.

Across those 42 matches they scored 7757 runs and conceded 7586. By net run rate their strongest season here was 2026 at +0.783, the weakest 2025 at +0.301 — a measure that ignores how close the finishes were. They took the title in 2025, 2026. Away from the cricket, there are [casino slots](/en-in/casino) on Cricketin too.
