M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru hosts Royal Challengers Bengaluru versus Rajasthan Royals on the IPL 2026 schedule (Match 62, 7:30 PM IST first ball).
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium reads as high-scoring batting paradise, short boundaries on both sides this season. Setting up at 195 first-innings par is the floor; boundary count is the key Dream11 differentiator. For RCB, Virat Kohli is the constant — every Dream11 builder I read has them in the top-3. Yash Dayal is the wicket-taking option. RR build around Sanju Samson at the top and Riyan Parag as the finisher.
For Dream11 captain, lead with Virat Kohli — the form line is clean. Sanju Samson vice-captain. Phil Salt fills the differential slot for grand-league entries.
