Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their maiden Indian Premier League trophy last year in the IPL with a thrilling win over Punjab Kings in the final. They will now aim to defend their title as well.
RCB will start their campaign with a match against SunRisers Hyderabad at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the first game of the season. RCB will play their five home matches in Bengaluru and two at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur as well.
However, a lot of focus will be on veteran RCB batter Virat Kohli. After IPL 2025, Kohli announced his Test retirement, having done so in T20Is way back in 2024 as well.
