IPL 2026: Salt, Patidar Power-hitting Help RCB Post 240/4 Against Mumbai Indians
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, and skipper Rajat Patidar scored contrasting half-centuries as defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru smashed 240/4 against Mumbai Indians in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
It was fireworks all around as Salt (78 off 36 balls) and Patidar (53 off 20) put on a brilliant display of power-hitting while Kohli struggled to a pedestrian 50 off 38 balls. After the Mumbai Indians had pulled things back, Tim David provided a late boost with a 16-ball 34 as RCB made the most of the batting-friendly conditions to post a challenging total, and set a record chase for five-time winners Mumbai Indians.
Asked to bat first, Phil Salt came out with guns blazing as he and Virat Kohli raised 100 runs for the opening wicket stand. They scored 13 runs off Trent Boult's opening over, with Kohli blasting him for a six and Salt for a four.
