🏏IPL 2026: RCB vs MI, 54th Match, at Raipur🏏 - Page 4

Pitch report from Swann and Finch: It is warm and there will be some dew coming in later in the day. Dimension wise, a fairly big ground. Sideways it is 68m and 64m to the left, 75 down the ground. The colour of it changes as you go down. The cracks are moving, which tell that underneath, it is seriously dry. The quicks will have a big part to play. As a batter, you might need to give yourself a couple of extra balls. For a spinner, it is good. If they hit one of the edges of the cracks, it might do a bit. Still looks a good pitch to bat.

Rajat Patidar: Surface is good, pretty hard. We will go for the chase. Conditions are not unfamiliar, good supporters and a great outfield. Same team. Couple of losses, but we want to stay in the present.

10 points confirmed

Suryakumar Yadav: We are pretty confident to bat first. Big ground, black soil wicket and runs on the board will always be pressure on the other team. We are going with the same team. We have always had a good chat around the bowling. It's harsh on the bowlers. We keep trying to improve and get better each day.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Playing XI): Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Rajat Patidar(c), Jitesh Sharma(w), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma, Rasikh Salam Dar
