'It's Going To Be Trial By Fire For RCB At Home,' Says Mukund Ahead Of IPL 2026
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Abhinav Mukund believes defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) could face a tough examination at home in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), describing their early fixtures against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as a 'trial by fire'.
Last year. RCB 's performances away from home were better than those at their home venue M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Bengaluru-based franchise managed to win only two matches at home during the season and lost three matches, while one match was abandoned due to rain, highlighting their struggle to establish a stronghold at their own ground.
Mukund noted that the conditions at the Chinnaswamy Stadium could be difficult to read initially, as there has been no competitive cricket played there for nearly eight to nine months after the stampede that happened during the RCB's victory march in the city.
