Royal Challengers Bangalore

“Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the defending IPL champions in 2026 — having finally broken their 18-year title drought in IPL 2025 under Rajat Patidar’s captaincy. This section covers every aspect of RCB’s title defence in the current season.

The RCB hub provides the full 2026 squad with player analysis, confirmed fixtures, match-by-match results updated live, and the current IPL 2026 points table position. After 4 matches, RCB have 4 points — still in a solid position in the playoff race despite their first defeat to Rajasthan Royals on April 10.

Virat Kohli remains the centrepiece of RCB’s batting — 7,400+ career IPL runs and the greatest single-season performance in IPL history (973 runs in 2016). His 2026 form is tracked match-by-match with ongoing comparison to his historical standards.

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium — one of the most batting-friendly venues in IPL history — is analysed in depth, including the unique altitude factor, short boundary dynamics, and the famous impact of the partisan home crowd on opposition bowlers.

RCB’s complete history — from the Andrew Flintoff era of 2009 to the emotional first title in 2025 — is documented in our IPL History section.”
