IPL 2026: Venkatesh, Duffy In As RCB Elect To Bowl Against KKR, Chakaravarthy Misses Out
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 57 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2206 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Wednesday.
The toss was delayed by 1.5 hours due to rain and a wet outfield, but there’s no loss of overs. A win would take RCB to the top of the points table and closer to a top-two finish in the points table. KKR, currently on a four-game winning streak, need a victory to continue their impressive turnaround and stay alive in the race to the playoffs.
After winning the toss, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar said Venkatesh Iyer has come in for Romario Shepherd, while Suyash Sharma also missed out, and Jacob Duffy came in. “I think it's a similar wicket that we played last match, so I think it will behave in the same way. And it should be pretty good also, hard surface, but we'll try to keep them under pressure while chasing.
