In match number 57 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the New Raipur. It was a rain-interrupted match as the match started one hour fifteen minutes behind schedule, but no overs were reduced and RCB won the match by 6 wickets.
Captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and decided to bowl first. They made two changes from their win against Mumbai Indians (MI), with Venkatesh Iyer coming in for Romario Shepherd and Jacob Duffy coming in for Suyyash Sharma. KKR made just one change, which was a forced one, as Varun Chakravarthy was dropped, and Saurabh Dubey got his debut.
