In match no.57 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the New Raipur. It was a rain-curtailed match as the match started an hour and fifteen minutes later than the scheduled time, but no overs were reduced as RCB won the game by 6 wickets.
Captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and elected to field first. They made two changes from their win against the Mumbai Indians (MI), with Venkatesh Iyer replacing Romario Shepherd, and Jacob Duffy coming in for Suyash Sharma. KKR made just one change, which was a forced one, as Varun Chakravarthy was ruled out, with Saurabh Dubey making his debut.
