IPL 20226 | MI vs RCB Highlights: Mumbai Indians Lose To RCB By 18 Runs, Suffer 3rd Straight Defeat

Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli blasted half-centuries as the defending champions beat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs in their IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Salt (78 off 36 balls) and Kohli (50 off 38 balls) stitched together a 120-run stand for the opening wicket before Patidar scored a rapid 53 off just 20 balls as RCB posted 240 for 4. In response, Mumbai Indians were restricted to 222 for 5, with RCB spinner Suyash Sharma (2/47) putting the skids on the home side with a double strike in the eighth over, from which they could not recover. Sherfane Rutherford top-scored for MI with an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls. While opener Rohit Sharma appeared to be struggling with a hamstring issue and had to retire hurt on 19, his partner Ryan Rickelton made 37, while Suryakumar Yadav (33) and Hardik Pandya (40) were the other contributors for MI. #IPL #IPL20206 #MumbaiIndians #RCB #RoyalChallengersBangalore #Cricket #CricketSeason #ViratKohli #HardikPandya #Rajatpatidar #Bumrah #Sport #NDTVDigitalOriginals
