The Platform
About RCB Team
The premier community platform for Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans to build, share, and debate their dream playing XIs.
Our Mission
Built by Fans, for Fans
RCB Team was born from a simple belief: every RCB fan deserves a platform to express their cricketing opinions. We created rcbteam.in as the ultimate destination for Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporters to channel their passion into something interactive, competitive, and deeply engaging.
Unlike generic fantasy cricket apps, RCB Team is exclusively dedicated to RCB. Our tools are built specifically around the RCB squad, their opponents, and the tactical decisions that define every match. Whether you're a casual viewer or a cricket analyst, our platform gives your XI selection the stage it deserves.

What We Offer
Platform Features
XI Builder
Our flagship tool lets you handpick your dream RCB playing XI from the complete IPL 2026 squad. Choose your captain and vice-captain, assign batting positions, and craft the perfect balance of pace, spin, and batting firepower. Every XI is automatically scored and analyzed.
Battle Arena
The Battle Arena puts two community-built XIs head-to-head. Cast your vote, and every pick shifts Elo ratings — the same rating system used in chess and esports. It's fast, addictive, and endlessly competitive.
Elo Rankings
A dynamic, ever-evolving leaderboard that ranks every community XI based on battle performance. Track win streaks, peak Elo ratings, and see which fan-built lineup reigns supreme across the entire community.
Match Predictions
Before every IPL fixture, build match-specific XIs optimized for the opponent. Whether it's RCB vs CSK, RCB vs MI, or any other clash, create tactical lineups and see how your predictions compare to the community consensus.

What We Stand For
Our Values
Fan-First
Every feature is designed to amplify the fan experience. We build what RCB supporters actually want — not what generates the most revenue.
Community-Driven
The platform thrives because of its community. Your XIs, votes, and debates are what make RCB Team the vibrant hub it is today.
Cricket Intelligence
We combine cricket analytics with fan intuition. Our tools help you make informed picks while celebrating the art of team selection.
Open & Transparent
Rankings, ratings, and stats are all public. Every vote counts equally. No pay-to-win, no hidden algorithms — just pure fan engagement.
Behind The Scenes
Technology & Approach
RCB Team is built with a modern, performance-first technology stack designed to deliver a premium user experience. The platform is a multi-page application (MPA) built with Astro — ensuring fast page loads, excellent SEO, and a snappy experience on every device. Our Elo rating system processes votes in real-time, providing instant leaderboard updates.
We prioritize speed, accessibility, and reliability. Every page is server-rendered for maximum SEO benefit, every interactive element is keyboard-accessible, and the entire platform is optimized for mobile-first usage — because we know most fans browse from their phones.
