Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders are finally set to begin their crucial IPL 2026 clash in Raipur after rain delayed the toss earlier in the evening. RCB head into the contest placed second on the points table with 14 points from 11 matches and a win could strengthen their chances of securing a top-two finish alongside Gujarat Titans.
