Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell and Romario Shepherd hit fifties as RCB posted 250 for 3 and survived a record six-hitting chase, officials said.

  • On Sunday, defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Chennai Super Kings by 43 runs at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, keeping RCB atop the Indian Premier League 2026 points table.
  • RCB posted a massive 250/3, the highest score this season, driven by Tim David's unbeaten 70 off 25 balls and skipper Rajat Patidar's quickfire 48 off 19 deliveries during a dominant final-overs assault.
  • Chasing 251, CSK struggled early as captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson fell cheaply. Despite fighting knocks from Sarfaraz Khan and Prashant Veer , the team was bowled out for 207 in 19.4 overs.
  • Nine batters hit a maximum in the Chennai innings, marking the first-ever instance of such a feat in T20 history. Overall, 14 batters across both sides smacked at least a six during the contest.
