IPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's strongest predicted XI against Mumbai Indians
RCB are the defending champions of the IPL.
The Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match No. 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on April 12 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. RCB, the defending champions, are currently in a stronger position, placed third on the points table with two wins from three matches. They started their campaign on a high with back-to-back victories over the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Chennai Super Kings. However, they suffered a setback in their previous match against the Rajasthan Royals and will be eager to return to winning ways.
Here is RCB’s strongest predicted XI vs MI, Match 20, IPL 2026:
Top order: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar (C)
The top order is expected to feature Virat Kohli and Phil Salt as openers, followed by skipper Rajat Patidar. Kohli has shown glimpses of form with a half-century this season but will look for more consistency. Salt, known for his aggressive stroke play, will aim to provide a brisk start. Patidar has been a key performer, playing crucial knocks, including a fine fifty against Rajasthan, stabilising and accelerating the innings when needed.
