IPL 2026: Defending Champions RCB Will Look For Consistency (SWOT)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) return to IPL 2026 with a point to prove. At the centre of it all is Virat Kohli. After finally ending their title drought last season, RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, now faces the challenge of maintaining success under new conditions and higher expectations.
Strengths:
RCB’s biggest advantage is continuity. Keeping the core of their title-winning squad ensures strong team chemistry and clear roles. Their batting lineup is one of the most powerful in the league. With Kohli anchoring the innings and explosive players like Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, and Tim David supporting him, RCB has both stability and firepower. The addition of Venkatesh Iyer further boosts the Indian core, providing flexibility across the batting order and an extra bowling option. In the pace department, the experienced pair of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar offers control and wicket-taking skills at different stages. All-rounders like Krunal Pandya and Romario Shepherd enhance the team balance.
