IPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s strongest predicted XI against Gujarat Titans
The defending champions head to Ahmedabad to face the Titans in the reverse fixture from April 24.
Middle order: Rajat Patidar (C), Jitesh Sharma (WK), Tim David, Romario Shepherd
Rajat Patidar has assumed the role of middle-overs enforcer for the defending champions, adjusting his entry points in such a way that he is able to take on spinners. The RCB skipper has largely improved his hitting vs pace as well, and with 238 runs at a whopping strike rate of 210.61, he has been one of the team's most important batters. Jitesh Sharma has been brilliant with the gloves but has yet to have a significant impact with the bat.
In Tim David and Romario Shepherd, the Bengaluru-based franchise has two of the best finishers in the T20 circuit. While Shepherd has yet to get going with the bat, the Australian power hitter scored a magnificent 25-ball 70 against the Chennai Super Kings, but it happens to be his only significant contribution this season.
