Royal Challengers Bengaluru have started the 2026 season right from where they left off. The defending champions have won three out of their four games in the season. At home, they have won two out of two games. Once again, as the Lucknow-based franchise makes the trip to Bengaluru, it will be RCB who will fancy their chances of winning the clash and making it to the top of the standings. Skipper, Rajat Patidar has scored the most runs for the team. What has been impressive with his batting performance is his strike rate of 214.28. Only Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored more than Patidar’s 195 runs at a better strike rate.
Lucknow Super Giants have not started in the manner they would have liked. The Rishabh Pant-led side has two wins in four games. However, he would know that both of those wins were hard-fought, and the one against the Kolkata Knight Riders could have easily ended in a defeat if not for Mukul Choudhary’s heroics. In their last two games against RCB at Chinnaswamy Stadium, the Super Giants have emerged victorious. The visitors would want to repeat the success in Bengaluru.
