The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won an absolute thriller in Raipur, beating the Mumbai Indians (MI) by two wickets and thus eliminating them in the process in Match 54 of the 2026 Indian Premier League.

MI were put into bat by Rajat Patidar, where they put 166 runs on the board after 20 overs. Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma scored 47 and 57, respectively. For the defending champions, it was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who was once again the star with the ball, taking four wickets whilst conceding just 23 runs.

In reply, RCB chased down the total in spectacular fashion, winning on the last ball after Rasikh Salam Dar ran two off the final delivery. It was, however, Krunal Pandya who set up the win for the Bengaluru-based side, scoring 73 off 46 balls to once again showcase his pinch-hitting skills.

The 2026 IPL season will always be remembered for the rejuvenation of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The right-arm seamer bowler once again proved he is amongst the best around by taking four wickets in the first innings. These included important scalps of Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav. Bhuvi now has 21 wickets to his name in the IPL and is the comfortable holder of the Purple Cap.

RCB have one of the best top orders in this season’s IPL, but MI made sure that they weren’t a hindrance early in the run chase. Deepak Chahar got the better of Virat Kohli, sending him back packing for a golden duck in the first over of the second innings. Soon, it was Corbin Bosch who joined the action, getting the priceless wicket of Rajat Patidar to restrict RCB to 39 for 3 within the powerplay.
