IPL 2026, Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Playing 11, Full Squad, Players List: Punjab Kings host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Dharamsala with the latter having a chance at becoming the first team to confirm a playoff spot for themselves in the 2026 Indian Premier League. PBKS, on the other hand, will risk dropping out of the race altogether if they sink to a sixth consecutive defeat on Sunday. It is a far cry from where they were sitting halfway through the league stage and Punjab are in the middle of one of the most spectacular collapses in the history of the IPL. They were unbeaten after their first seven games, having won six of those. Now, they sit on the brink of equalising their wins and losses.
RCB, on the other hand, have remained more or less consistent in their first season as the defending champions. Virat Kohli copped two back to back ducks before their last match, only to comeback with a stunning century and powering them to victory over KKR.
