RCB won the toss and chose to bowl first against KKR in Raipur as both teams chase crucial points in the IPL 2026 playoff race
Summary
Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders in the delayed IPL 2026 clash in Raipur. The match will begin at 8:45 PM IST with no overs lost despite the earlier rain interruption.
RCB have gone in with an unchanged combination as they look to strengthen their position in the top two, while KKR made a key change with Venkatesh Iyer coming in for Romario Shepherd. Bengaluru currently sit second on the points table with 14 points from 11 matches, while Kolkata are fighting to stay alive in the playoff race after winning four matches in a row.
The Raipur surface is expected to assist fast bowlers again, with variable bounce and moisture likely to play a role after the rain delay. Virat Kohli also comes into the game looking to end a poor run in recent matches.
