Royal Challengers Bengaluru look to end their two-match losing streak as they look to rediscover their batting form when they take on a beleaguered Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Sunday. The defending champions are aiming to steady their campaign after a strong start.
RCB started the season with four wins from five matches but have tailed off since, losing three from their last five games. They remain third in the IPL 2026 points table with 12 points from 10 matches, but it's finely poised given the likes of RR and GT also in the mix.
As for Mumbai Indians, they managed to beat LSG thanks to a timely return of Rohit Sharma but Suryakumar Yadav's absence and Hardik Pandya's doubtful return remains a challenge for MI if they are to beat RCB in Raipur tonight.
