Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a dramatic two-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2026 match on Sunday, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rasikh Salam Dar contributing to the win. The match was marked by a light-hearted exchange between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, which was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media.
The Mumbai Indians had a tough start, slipping to 28/3 in the opening three overs, but Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir rebuilt the innings with an 82-run partnership. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 4/23 restricted MI to 166/7.
RCB's chase was equally intense, with Krunal Pandya scoring 73 off 46 balls, but the game went down to the final over with Bengaluru needing 15 runs from six balls. Bhuvneshwar Kumar then hit a crucial six, and Rasikh Salam Dar scored the winning runs on the final ball.
The defeat eliminated Mumbai Indians from the playoff race, while RCB climbed to the top of the points table. The focus now shifts to the upcoming matches, with RCB looking to maintain their position and other teams aiming to catch up.
