IPL 2026: RCB beat Mumbai

RCB's dominant batting performance was the highlight of a high-scoring IPL double-header, with Phil Salt's explosive 78 setting the tone early.

Despite a spirited chase led by Sherfane Rutherford, Mumbai Indians suffered their third consecutive defeat as their middle order failed to capitalize on a strong start.

The match was not without drama, as Rohit Sharma retired hurt with a hamstring issue and Virat Kohli was seen reacting furiously after his dismissal.

The win lifts RCB to third in the points table, while Mumbai remains near the bottom as they search for answers to their early-season slump.
