RCB vs CSK Live streaming details: Where to watch today's IPL 2026 match?

Tim David, skipper Rajat Patidar, and Devdutt Padikkal unleashed a storming display of batting to propel Royal Challengers Bangalore to a massive 250/3 against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL clash on Sunday. Padikkal (50 off 29 balls) and David (70 off 25 balls) attacked the CSK bowlers relentlessly, while Patidar contributed an unbeaten 48 off 19 balls to complete the carnage.

 

Padikkal’s innings featured two crucial partnerships—56 runs with Phil Salt (46) for the second wicket and 58 with Patidar for the third—that stabilized RCB after the early dismissal of Virat Kohli (28), who had been dropped on seven by Shivam Dube. Salt dominated the second-wicket stand, hitting two sixes in the Powerplay to help RCB reach 51/1.

 

 

After Salt’s dismissal, Padikkal accelerated, hitting successive sixes and a four off Dube, and completed his IPL-fifty with a single off Matt Henry. He eventually fell attempting a reverse scoop off Jamie Overton. By the 15th over, RCB were 153/3, setting the stage for a brutal finish.

 

In the final five overs, Patidar and David added an unbeaten 99-run partnership, punishing wayward bowling. Patidar dominated Khaleel Ahmed with two sixes and a four, while David smashed three sixes off Noor Ahmad and four more off Overton in the 19th over, showcasing RCB’s destructive firepower and exposing CSK’s bowling vulnerabilities.

CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has won the toss and decided to field first on the night.  Both skippers after the toss:  Gaikwad: We will bowl first. Obviously, high scoring ground. Looks like a good pitch, there's going to be some runs. We'll look to restrict them as much as possible. MS is getting back slowly, sometimes it taks time, if he's ready to play, it'll be soon. The first game was disappointing, but our batting was much better in the second game. Everyone is feeling confident. Same team for us.  Rajat: We were looking to bowl first, but it looks like a hard pitch, so we're happy to bat. It's a fresh wicket. The boys played well in the last game and we're looking to continue here. The way everyone played in the last game was tremendous, everyone had clarity in their role and they vare high in confidence. We're going with the same side.
