IPL 2026 | PBKS vs RCB Highlights: Royal Challengers seal Playoffs spot with 23-run win over PBKS

Hello Readers! Bhuvneshwar Kumar yet again picked up a wicket in the first over and followed it up with another in his second to send both the Punjab openers packing. Rasikh Dar took the big wicket of Shreyas Iyer, while Romario Shephard claimed the prized wicket of the dangerous-looking Cooper Connolly as PBKS stare at a big target. Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis stitched a quick recovery as PBKS stayed afloat. Impressive death over bowling from Hazlewood and Dar meant RCN Jacob Bethell had another poor match as he was dismissed in the third over by Harpreet Brar. However, Virat Kohli carried forward his good form, while Devdutt Padikkal counter-attacked as RCB had a good powerplay. Padikkal missed his half-century by five runs but Kohli stood frim to register back-to-back 50+ scores. Venkatesh Iyer has gotten a good start too and converted it to his first half-century after the season. Stay tuned with DH for all the live updates.
