Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 1st Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - HighlightsRCB vs SRH, 1st Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Highlights

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jaydev Unadkat, 2 runs, close to the blockhole on off, Unadkat can't get under it but he drives wide of long-off and is back for two. Very poor throw from the fielder there. Should've been a run-out but the throw is so wide

Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, out Caught by Virat Kohli!! Was he caught in two minds? Looked like a very half-hearted chip down the ground. Was probably thinking if he should take a single to keep strike or go for the big hit. Ended up chipping it to long-off. Was full in the slot, there to be punished, but it results in his dismissal. Simple catch for Kohli at long-off. Aniket has a smile on his face as he walks off. Aniket Verma c Virat Kohli b Romario Shepherd 43(18) [4s-3 6s-4],

Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, no run, review taken by RCB for a wide call! It's full and wide, Aniket tries a reverse-scoop but misses out. He had walked across the stumps and was standing well outside off when the ball was released. The revised wide marker has moved accordingly, and it's well inside the line according to ball-tracking. Good review!

Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, SIX, not great bowling. Again in the slot, misses the yorker by a long way and Aniket takes full toll. Giving SRH just the finish they want. Smashes it down the ground for six more

Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, FOUR, tries the slower short ball this time but it's all the same for Aniket who spots it early, waits for it and plays the upper-cut to perfection. Almost goes all the way over backward point

Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, SIX, massive hit down the ground! In the slot around off, he gets under it and whacks it over long-on. Nice stable base to go with a hefty swing

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Harshal Patel, out Caught by Devdutt Padikkal!! Straight down the throat of Padikkal at long-off. No mistake from him and Harshal has to go. Short of length outside off, he tries lofting off the back foot, not an easy shot and there's not enough on it to clear the ropes. The wickets keep tumbling. Harshal Patel c Devdutt Padikkal b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 0(2),

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Aniket Verma, 1 run, dropped by Kohli! Ran in from long-on, got to it but the ball burst right through his hands and landed on the thigh. He looks surprised more than anything. Was full in the slot, Aniket tried a no-look shot but miscued it high up. Lucky to get away!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Aniket Verma, FOUR, the slower bouncer from Bhuvi and it's been ramped over the keeper. Aniket initially took a couple of steps down the pitch, which may have prompted Bhuvi to go short. But he still managed to adjust so well

Romario Shepherd to Harsh Dubey, out Caught by Devdutt Padikkal!! Looks like Shepherd has outsmarted Dubey here. He shuffled across the stumps premeditatedly, probably expecting the line to be wide. But what he got was a very full ball on leg stump. Flicks it in the air and finds the fielder at fine leg. Harsh Dubey c Devdutt Padikkal b Romario Shepherd 3(3),

Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, SIX, makes this look so effortless! Back of a length, pace off perhaps and it sits up around the waist on middle and leg. From there it's all about the elegance of Aniket. Swivels across beautifully and pulls it over fine leg without going too hard. Pure timing!

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Phil Salt!! Phil Salt, you beauty! It needed something special to get rid of Kishan tonight and he has produced just that. A one-handed screamer running across at the point boundary when the ball seemed destined for the ropes. Full toss outside off, Kishan reaches out, opens the face and slices it in the air. It's well wide of Salt who charges to his right before reaching out one-handed at full stretch. Incredible work. Ishan Kishan c Phil Salt b Abhinandan Singh 80(38) [4s-8 6s-5],

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, SIX, such special batting! Just another level from Kishan! Angling away outside off, back of a length, he opens the face and carves it over short third. Flies over the fielder and then over the ropes

Abhinandan Singh to Aniket Verma, SIX, oh he got into such a great position! Abhinandan bashes it on a short of length and Aniket pounces! His weight is on the back foot as he pulls it for a flat six over midwicket. Was barely a short-arm jab but the timing was awesome

Suyash Sharma to Aniket Verma, FOUR, nicely played! Googly outside off, there's width on offer but Aniket doesn't go too hard. Simply opens the face and steers it past short third. Right in the gap between backward point and short third

Suyash Sharma to Salil Arora, out Caught by Devdutt Padikkal !! Not very convincing from Arora in his short stay. Gets dismissed off a half-tracker. Was there to be pulled into the stands but he goes very half-heartedly and finds the fielder at deep midwicket. Good catch from Padikkal moving forward. Salil Arora c Devdutt Padikkal b Suyash Sharma 9(6) [6s-1],

Romario Shepherd to Salil Arora, SIX, the top-edge flies all the way and Shepherd has a big smile on his face. Can't believe his luck. Dug in short, Arora takes it on again and once again he's not in control of the pull. Gets big on him and flies over fine leg

Romario Shepherd to Heinrich Klaasen, out Caught by Phil Salt!! Salt is celebrating but he was very close to the ropes there. Umpire will send it upstairs to check if the catch is clean. Back of a length, heaved across the line and goes very high. It's Salt at the midwicket boundary and he goes down while taking the catch, doesn't stay on his feet. Replays don't seem very conclusive - very hard to say if some part of his back is touching the cushions. "I don't see any movement of the cushions," says the third umpire. OUT flashes on the big screen, much to the delight of the partisan home crowd. Klaasen doesn't seem too pleased. He's having a word with the fourth umpire before making his way to the dugout. Heinrich Klaasen c Phil Salt b Romario Shepherd 31(22) [4s-2 6s-1],

Krunal Pandya to Ishan Kishan, SIX, now goes down the ground and fetches another six! Krunal is wondering where to bowl to him. Goes full outside off, it's in the slot and it gets hammered straight back

Krunal Pandya to Ishan Kishan, SIX, the round-arm delivery from Krunal and this time it's dispatched over the ropes! Along with being round-arm, was also the 25-yarder from Krunal. Bowled it from well behind the crease and kept it on the pads. But Kishan quickly collapsed his back knee to get under the ball for a big slog-sweep. He's on fire out there!

Krunal Pandya to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX, oh that's a gift! Proper gift and nicely wrapped too with a bow on top. Juicy full toss, Klaasen's eyes light up and he smokes it over midwicket

Suyash Sharma to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, terrible delivery and it disappears to the boundary in no time. Third one of the over. Dragged down short, perhaps anticipated a charge from Kishan but he hangs back and pulls hard behind square

Suyash Sharma to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, again the same error. Length is too full and Kishan pounces. Only difference to the previous delivery was that the line was outside off and he went over extra cover instead of going down the ground

Suyash Sharma to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, drilled down the ground! It's a googly from Suyash but it's too full and Kishan isn't going to let that go unpunished. Brings up his fifty in style!

Suyash Sharma to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, tossed up delivery outside off, slightly widish, Ishan Kishan reaches out for it with a drive and manages to beat Tim David's dive in the deep. The timing and placement were good enough to fetch him four runs

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, 50-run stand up! Pitched up by the bowler outside off, Ishan Kishan looks to squeeze it out, gets an inside edge past the stumps for a single

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, smashed! Abhinandan Singh goes short outside off, this was on the slower side, Ishan Kishan picks the length and pace pretty well, rocks back in the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket. There were a couple of fielders converging in the deep, but he just managed to bisect them

Romario Shepherd to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR, replica of the previous shot! Romario Shepherd goes full again and Heinrich Klaasen executes his off-drive once again. Same shot, same execution, and same result

Romario Shepherd to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR, yet another boundary. Romario Shepherd goes full around off, Heinrich Klaasen goes deep inside the crease and plays a well-timed off-drive. Beats the fielder inside the circle comfortably and finds the fence with ease

Romario Shepherd to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, shot! Back of a length outside off, Ishan Kishan gets on top of it and stylishly carves it away through backward point. No chance of stopping that as Kishan adds four more to the tally

Jacob Duffy to Heinrich Klaasen, 1 run, a short ball by Jacob Duffy and Heinrich Klaasen has pulled it towards deep mid-wicket on the bounce

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, SIX, Abhinandan Singh proving to be very expensive in his first over. This was a short and quick delivery outside off, Ishan Kishan slashes hard at it and the top edge flies right over third man. Hits the ad hoardings beyond the boundary

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, more runs! Banged in short by Abhinandan Singh, Ishan Kishan goes for a pull over mid-wicket and manages to beat Duffy's chase. He put in a dive in the deep, but couldn't quite get there

Abhinandan Singh to Ishan Kishan, SIX, that's the kind of form he has been in. More like it. A short ball on leg, Ishan Kishan picks the length early and pulls it over deep backward square leg for a 89m maximum. SRH need their captain to play with a similar intent tonight

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, out Caught by Abhinandan Singh!! This is a dream debut for Jacob Duffy. He goes short, he goes quick and the batter gets hurried. Tries to go across the line, swings with lack of footwork and the top edge has been taken at mid-wicket. Abhinandan takes it stylishly and throws the ball away in swagger. Sunrisers Hyderabad in a spot of bother at the Chinnaswamy. They are three down within the powerplay.. Nitish Reddy c Abhinandan Singh b Jacob Duffy 1(6),

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, sublime timing! Back of a length outside off, Ishan Kishan stands tall and punches this through cover-point. Finds the gap as the ball absolutely races away to the fence

Jacob Duffy to Travis Head, out Caught by Phil Salt!! Two wickets in the over for Jacob Duffy. What a superb debut for him for RCB already. A short ball by the pacer, Travis Head goes for a flat pull and Phil Salt at deep backward square leg takes a well-judged reverse cup catch. Both the destructive openers are back to the pavilion within the powerplay. The crowd at Chinnaswamy is absolutely loving this. Travis Head c Phil Salt b Jacob Duffy 11(9) [4s-2],

Jacob Duffy to Travis Head, FOUR, stand and deliver! On a length outside off, tad slower, Travis Head stays put and thumps it over mid-off. Didn't middle it to perfection, otherwise this would have sailed over the boundary. Good strike, nevertheless

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Abhishek's poor run continues. He hasn't been at his best since a couple of months. This was a short ball by Jacob Duffy and Abhishek Sharma got hurried up due to the pace. He goes for a pull, losing his shape in the process. A thick top edge is induced and Jitesh calls for it and circles under the skier to complete a safe catch. A disappointing start for the destructive opener in IPL 2026. Abhishek Sharma c Jitesh Sharma b Jacob Duffy 7(8) [6s-1],

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Travis Head, FOUR, chopped on, almost! Just the kind of luck you need to get going in this tournament. Back of a length delivery around off, was too close to the body, Travis Head looks to slice it away and gets an inside edge that misses the stumps and races away to the fine leg boundary

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, first maximum of IPL 2026! Full and wide outside off, Abhishek Sharma reaches out for it with a slice, gets enough elevation as the ball flies over the fielder at deep backward point. He's off the mark in style

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, no run, not out! RCB lose a review in the first over of the match. A back of a length delivery outside off, shapes back away as Abhishek Sharma gets beaten on the outside edge. UltraEdge confirms the same as the bowler starts walking back to his run-up mark
