IPL 2026: RCB Have Biggest Chance, Says Suresh Raina As He Backs Bengaluru To Defend Their Title

By IANS News May 06, 2026 • 18:06 PM View: 673

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Former India cricketer Suresh Raina believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are strong favourites to defend their Indian Premier League (IPL) title this season, citing their balanced performances and clarity in roles across departments.

“I feel RCB can defend their title. The way they are playing, and how their bowling unit is operating, with Captain Rajat Patidar leading from the front, has been impressive,” Raina said.

Raina emphasised that RCB’s strength lies not just in posting massive totals but in their attacking batting approach. “It is not just about scoring big 240-250 totals; everyone in the batting unit understands their roles,” he added.
