Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will look to strengthen their playoff push when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a crucial IPL 2026 clash in Raipur tonight. The toss has been delayed due to wet outfield at the moment.   Although RCB currently sit at the top of the table with 14 points, their batting concerns remain a major talking point after a struggling chase against Mumbai Indians in the previous game.

RCB skipper Rajat Patidar has won the toss and elected to bowl first in Raipur  Both skippers after the toss:  Rajat: We will bowl first. I think it's a similar wicket we played in the last match. It will behave in a similar way. We will try to keep them under pressure. I think the wickets are pretty much same. There will be variable bounce. That was a good game for us, everyone has a lot of confidence. Every game is important, we are focussing more on playing good cricket. Venky comes in for Shepherd.  Ajinkya: Last four games have been good for us. For us it's taking one game at a time. It's about respecting the opponents, and winning those small moments. This format is all about that, winning those small moments is important. Varun is out, Saurabh comes in for him.

 

Captain Rajat Patidar’s dip in form has affected the middle-order momentum, placing added responsibility on players such as Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Tim David to deliver. RCB will face a stiff challenge against KKR’s in-form bowling attack led by Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, with support from Vaibhav Arora and Kartik Tyagi.  Check RCB vs KKR LIVE SCORE UPDATES here 

 

  

KKR, meanwhile, have revived their campaign with four consecutive wins but remain in a must-win situation to keep their playoff hopes alive. Their batting has improved considerably through contributions from Rinku Singh, Finn Allen and Cameron Green, while Ajinkya Rahane’s side will also rely heavily on handling Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the powerplay.
