The [[2019 Indian Premier League|2019 season]] was the 12th season for the IPL [[cricket (sport)|cricket]] franchise [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]].

==Background==
===Player retention, transfers and auction===
{{Main|List of 2019 Indian Premier League personnel changes}}
In November 2018, the Royal Challengers announced their list of retained players for the 2019 season. The list included [[Virat Kohli]], [[AB de Villiers]], [[Parthiv Patel]], [[Yuzvendra Chahal]], [[Washington Sundar]], [[Pawan Negi]], [[Nathan Coulter-Nile]], [[Moeen Ali]], [[Mohammed Siraj]], [[Colin de Grandhomme]], [[Tim Southee]], [[Umesh Yadav]], [[Navdeep Saini]], [[Kulwant Khejroliya]] and [[Marcus Stoinis]].<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL 2019: Full list of retained players and purse remaining for each team|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/ipl-2019-full-list-players-retained-released-purse-remaining-1389979-2018-11-16|website=India today|author= |date=16 November 2018 |accessdate=16 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=IPL auction 2019: Who's retained, who's released?

On 18 December 2018, the IPL player auction was held in which the Royal Challengers signed up nine more players viz., [[Shivam Dube]], [[Shimron Hetmyer]], [[Akshdeep Nath]], [[Prayas Barman]], [[Himmat Singh (cricketer)|Himmat Singh]], [[Gurkeerat Singh Mann]], [[Heinrich Klaasen]], [[Devdutt Padikkal]] and [[Milind Kumar]].<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL 2019 Auction: Full squads of all eight teams|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/ipl-2019-auction-how-the-franchises-spent-and-how-teams-are-stacked-up/articleshow/67150455.cms|website=times of india|author= |date=18 December 2018 |access-date=18 December 2018}}</ref> Their squad strength was 24 with 16 Indian and 8 overseas players.

===Team analysis===
''[[ESPNcricinfo]]'' editor Varun Shetty wrote in his team preview that the Royal Challengers "might struggle once more with their balance" despite the presence of several all-rounders in the squad and predicted that the team would make it to the playoffs if Kohli has "another season of big runs".<ref>{{cite news |title=RCB look strong as ever, but might struggle with team balance |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/26293516/royal-challengers-bangalore-look-strong-ever-struggle-team-balance |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> According to ''[[the Indian Express]]'', the team's strength is its batting lineup while the unavailability of overseas all-rounders for the entire season could be the weakness. The preview also stated that Kohli, whose captaincy was recently criticized by former cricketers, "will be eager to prove them wrong".<ref>{{cite news |title=IPL 2019 RCB Preview: Loaded batting lineup, Virat Kohli with a point to prove |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/ipl/ipl-2019-royal-challengers-bangalore-preview-rcb-5632167/ |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=The Indian Express}}</ref> ''[[The Times of India]]'' remarked that "Bowling, especially in the death overs, continues to be a cause for worry for RCB."<ref>{{cite news |title=IPL 2019: Who will crack the code in this edition of Indian Premier League? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/ipl-2019-who-will-crack-the-code-in-this-edition-of-indian-premier-league/articleshow/68532533.cms |accessdate=23 March 2019 |work=Times of India}}</ref> ''[[News18]]'' tipped [[Shimron Hetmyer]] as one of the five first-time overseas players to watch out for in the season,<ref>{{cite news |title=IPL 2019: Five First Time Overseas Players to Watch Out For |url=https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/ipl-2019-five-first-time-overseas-players-to-watch-out-for-2069315.html |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=News18}}</ref> while ''[[the Hindu]]'' named [[Shivam Dube]] among the uncapped Indian players "who could create ripples" at the tournament.<ref>{{cite news |title=New stars set to shine on IPL nights |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/new-stars-set-to-shine-on-ipl-nights/article26613082.ece |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=The Hindu}}</ref>
