IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) Playing 11, Full Squad, Players List: Royal Challengers Bengaluru host the Mumbai Indians in the first of two home matches that they will be playing at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. It is the first time in a decade that an IPL match will be played in the city. RCB are looking to regain their hold on a top-two spot, having lost to a beleaguered Lucknow Super Giants in their previous match. In front of them are a similarly beleaguered MI, who are in a slightly better position than LSG though as they managed to get a win in their previous game.
RCB, on the other hand, suffered a second consecutive defeat in their previous match against Rajasthan Royals. They are desperately missing the bumper starts that Phil Salt provides them, with the opener set to be sitting out of Sunday’s match as well with the finger injury. MI, on the other hand, would know that a defeat here would officially end any chances they have of making the playoffs. It remains to be seen if captain Hardik Pandya can make it, having sat out in their previous match. The all-rounder is in Raipur with the rest of the team.
RCB vs MI Predicted XIIs:
MI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya/Sherfane Rutherford, Will Jacks, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar, Shardul Thakur
