After their thrilling last-ball win against the Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Sunday, RCB are now on top of the points table in IPL 2026 by virtue of having the best net run rate in the league.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar made excellent use of the swing on offer to take three wickets in the powerplay itself, including MI skipper Suryakumar Yadav for a golden duck. Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir arrested the slide in the middle overs, but it simply wasn't a wicket for 200-plus totals.
Deepak Chahar dismissed Virat Kohli for a first-ball duck in the chase and soon sent Devdutt Padikkal packing. RCB were three down in the powerplay once Corbin Bosch also got the wicket of RCB captain Rajat Patidar.
Krunal Pandya held through the collapse, fighting through cramps and being hit on the ribs. With RCB needing 30 runs in the last 3 overs, Pandya survived a few scares. Taking on AM Ghazanfar, Pandya survived a dropped catch to hit two sixes in the over until he was dismissed on the last ball of the over for 73.
With 9 runs needed off 3 balls, 'Bhuvi' hit a six over cover. He and Rasikh Dar eventually scampered home for the last 3 runs in 2 balls to officially eliminate the Mumbai Indians.

"Virat Kohli is a champion player. If he doesn't score runs in two games, then I get very excited, because I know Virat Kohli will come back," he said. "There is a lot of hunger within Virat Kohli; he is a different beast. None of us is ever concerned about him; everyone knows what he is."
