    RCB Begin IPL 2026 Title Defense with Dominant Six-Wicket Win Over SRH

    By IANS News March 29, 2026 • 08:47 AM View: 325

    Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) began their IPL 2026 campaign with a statement six-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on competitive cricket’s return at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

    Put into batting first on a two-paced pitch, SRH rode on captain Ishan Kishan’s sparkling 80 off 38 balls and a late blitz from Aniket Verma (43 off 18 balls) to post 201/9. Kishan’s fluent strokeplay, laced with eight fours and five sixes, and Aniket’s fearless cameo lifted the visitors past the 200-mark despite Jacob Duffy’s impressive debut spell of 3-22 and Romario Shepherd’s 3-54.
