In a rain-affected thriller at Raipur, Kolkata Knight Riders rode on Angkrish Raghuvanshi's storming 71 to post 192/4 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026's 57th fixture. The match, delayed by showers but played to full overs, saw RCB opt to bowl after winning the toss, aiming to secure a top-table finish with a win. KKR's innings kicked off cautiously as Fin Allen (18 off 8) and skipper Ajinkya Rahane (19 off 13) added 23 for the first wicket. Rahane's departure triggered Angkrish's onslaught. He steadied the ship with a 25-run stand alongside Rahane, then exploded with Cameron Green for 68 runs off 46 balls, taking KKR to 116. Green's 32 off 24 ended, but Angkrish's momentum carried on. Teaming with Rinku Singh, they plundered 76 runs off 46 deliveries, propelling KKR to a challenging total. Angkrish fell for 71 (46 balls, 7x4, 3x6), with Rinku unbeaten on 49 (29 balls). Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Rasikh Dar picked up one scalp each for RCB. KKR's playing XI: Rahane (c), Allen, Green, Angkrish (wk), Powell, Pandey, Rinku, Narine, Anukul Roy, Arora, Tyagi. RCB fielded Bethel, Kohli, Patidar (c), Jitesh (wk), David, Venkatesh Iyer, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar, Rasikh, Duffy, Hazlewood.
