RCB vs SRH IPL 2026 Head-to-Head records: Royal Challengers Bengaluru will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad during the first match of IPL 2026 on 28th March at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB are the reigning champions, having won their maiden title last year by defeating Punjab Kings in the summit clash.
They will aim to start their campaign on a high note and rely heavily on star players like Virat Kohli, Krunal Pandya, Rajat Patidar, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, and Tim David as they seek to defend their title and secure their second trophy.
At the same time, the Ishan Kishan-led side will enter this match with a weakened bowling attack owing to Pat Cummins' absence. They will aim to bounce back after having a disastrous season last year and will try to begin their campaign on a high note.
Both teams had faced each other once last season, when SRH defeated RCB by 42 runs, with Ishan Kishan scoring a match-winning 94 and Pat Cummins taking 3/28.
