RCB Seek to End Losing Streak Against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Mumbai Indians at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur, seeking to end their two-match losing streak. Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is still recovering from back spasms and will not lead the side, with Suryakumar Yadav continuing as captain.

RCB's batting unit has struggled in recent outings, managing only 155 against Gujarat Titans and failing to seriously threaten the target against Lucknow Super Giants.

Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have regained confidence after a big chase against Lucknow Super Giants, with Rohit Sharma marking his return from injury with a blistering 84 off 44 balls.

The playoff race is tightening for RCB, who are currently fourth on the table with 12 points from 10 matches, and they cannot afford many more slip-ups.

The match will see RCB's experienced pace pair of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood face off against Rohit Sharma and opening partner Ryan Rickelton, while RCB's Jitesh Sharma and Jacob Bethell will look to improve their form.

The match is scheduled to start soon, with RCB aiming to snap their losing streak and Mumbai Indians looking to build on their renewed confidence.
