IPL 2026: RCB Have The Form, But MI Are Ahead In Man-to-man Comparison, Says Pathan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes that while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) carry momentum into their high-stakes IPL 2026 clash with Mumbai Indians (MI), the latter holds a marginal edge in terms of individual personnel.
Both sides are respectively coming off a mauling at the hands of the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. “RCB are travelling now. When they played their first two games at home, they won comfortably, but the moment they went on the road, they lost in Guwahati against Rajasthan Royals.
"So, there will be a few questions in the camp. I feel the game might be decided by which team bowls better in the end overs, and the toss will be an important factor too. RCB have the form, but in a man-to-man comparison, I feel Mumbai are slightly ahead," said Pathan on JioHotstar, as the competition begins its 'Rivalry Week'.
