Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are gearing up for the IPL 2026 season with a strong and well-balanced squad after their historic title win last year. The franchise has focused on maintaining its core players while adding depth through smart auction picks.

Star batter Virat Kohli remains the backbone of the team, alongside captain Rajat Patidar, who led RCB to their maiden IPL trophy. The batting unit looks powerful with players like Devdutt Padikkal, Phil Salt, Tim David, and Jitesh Sharma providing both stability and explosive finishing.

In the all-round department, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, and Venkatesh Iyer add balance with their ability to contribute in both batting and bowling. RCB’s bowling attack is strengthened by experienced names such as Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, and Nuwan Thushara, giving the team plenty of options in all conditions.

With a mix of experienced stars and young talent, RCB will enter IPL 2026 as one of the strongest contenders, aiming to defend their title and continue their winning momentum.
