The result of this season will remain same for the Team RCB.

They might reach final but won't lift the cup....

Not just RCB GOATS, they are IPL GOATS, the ones who made IPL what it is today, you can all go and shout MI is the most successful, but in reality they had very little part in making it the biggest/exciting cricket tournament.
