Royal Challengers Bangalore, like Deccan Chargers, had ended up at the bottom of the table in the inaugural edition of DLF IPL. Both met in the final of IPL 2009 in South Africa. Anil Kumble led RCB with great heart, but was unable to win the title.
Kumble’s most impressive virtues as a cricketer - grit and determination - came to the fore in South Africa. And he will be hoping to continue the good work in this year’s Airtel Champions League Twenty20 tournament. Royal Challengers Bangalore lost four of their first five matches in IPL 2009, but made a startling comeback to make it to the semi-finals.
