RCB vs KKR Live Weather Updates
The toss remains delayed due to the wet outfield. This is perhaps a norm which needs to change. You don't need to go to the middle of the pitch to complete the coin toss. Hence, it's high time ICC changes this ritual of conducting toss in the middle of the pitch.

RCB vs KKR Weather LIVE
Hello and Welcome to the LIVE Weather Updates from Raipur ahead of the IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders.
With the playoff race heating up, both teams are desperate for a victory. RCB currently sit second on the points table with 14 points from 11 matches, while KKR are placed eighth with 9 points from 10 games.
RCB come into this contest as favourites after a dramatic two-wicket win over Mumbai Indians, where Krunal Pandya’s explosive 73 off 46 balls proved decisive. However, their batting has shown inconsistency, highlighted by Virat Kohli’s back-to-back ducks. KKR, meanwhile, have surged back into contention with four consecutive victories, displaying impressive batting depth and a strong bowling attack led by Sunil Narine.
RCB vs KKR Team News
RCB will be without explosive opener Phil Salt, who continues to miss games due to a finger injury. Jacob Bethell remains in his place at the top of the order. The pace attack, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, continues to be their biggest strength. No major changes are expected following their recent win.
For KKR, the fitness of star spinner Varun Chakravarthy remains a concern after he injured his foot in the previous match. If unavailable, Prashant Solanki or Daksh Kamra could replace him. Captain Ajinkya Rahane will rely on in-form batters, including Rinku Singh, Cameron Green, and Rovman Powell. Matheesha Pathirana is fully fit and available for selection.
The Raipur pitch is expected to offer early swing for the pacers and assistance to spinners in the middle overs. While RCB enjoy home advantage and the services of a motivated Virat Kohli, KKR's recent momentum and bowling depth make this a highly competitive contest. This match could significantly influence the final playoff standings.
