IPL 2026: RCB vs KKR playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

The top spot on the points table will be on the line when RCB and KKR come face to face against each other in Raipur

High-flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in crucial match 57 of IPL 2026 at Raipur’s Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium tonight, with the top spot on the points table on the line. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar has won the toss and elected to bowl first in Raipur

 

At the moment, RCB are in second spot with 14 points and a win over KKR will not only take them back to the top of the points table but will also almost confirm their place in the playoffs.

 

On the other hand, KKR will need to keep their four-match winning streak going to stay alive in the race for the top four, as a loss against RCB will put them in a do-or-die situation.

 

 

In terms of team combination, both sides are flying high on confidence. KKR finally have their top and middle order firing, while their bowlers are stepping up with exceptional performances, especially in the middle overs.

 

On the other hand, RCB’s game plan is simple. In bowling, they have Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar striking regularly in the powerplay, making their bowling attack one of the best this season. However, their batting has looked a little rusty in the last few games, with the top order failing to score big runs, but the middle order is stepping up to keep their title defence up and running.
