RCB Team Maldives Vacation: All the players of Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are in second place after playing nine matches so far in the Indian Premier League 2026, have reached Maldives. Under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar, RCB has won 6 out of 9 matches and lost three matches. The Bengaluru team is standing at the threshold of the playoffs and can confirm the ticket to the last four by winning only two out of the remaining five matches.

Next match is on 7th May

The next match of Royal Challengers Bangalore is to be played on 7th May, where they will face the team of Lucknow Super Giants. Immediately after this, they will have to face Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. By registering a win in any two of these matches, RCB can secure their place in the playoffs.

The entire team reached Maldives

Before this, the RCB team has reached Maldives, where the team will spend holidays together for a week. It is known that defending champion RCB played its last match against Gujarat Titans, where Gujarat defeated them by four wickets.
