MI vs RCB, IPL 2026: Suyyash Sharma IN Venkatesh Iyer OUT! Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s possible playing XI could be like this

By Samira Vishwas On Apr 14, 2026

Suyyash Sharma may get a chance: In the last match of RCB, the team’s bowling looked weak. The situation was such that Captain Rajat Patidar had even made Tim David bowl. To ensure that such a situation does not happen again, he can include spin bowler Suyash Sharma in his playing combination. 22 year old Suyyash has taken 58 wickets in 54 T20 matches. So far in the 2026 season, he has taken 2 wickets in 2 matches for RCB by bowling at an economy of only 7.

Venkatesh Iyer’s card will be cut: If the Royal Challengers Bangalore team gives a chance to Suyyash Sharma in the playing XI combination against Mumbai Indians, then it will directly blame Venkatesh Iyer and he will be out of the playing combination. Let us know that he was included after the team’s batting order collapsed in the match against Rajasthan Royals, where he scored unbeaten 29 runs in just 15 balls while batting at number-9.

Please note that to further improve the combination of their playing XI, Royal Challengers Bangalore can drop Phil Salt and make Venkatesh Iyer open. In such a situation, they will have a chance to include a foreign bowler who could be Jacob Duffy. He has taken 5 wickets in 2 matches so far in the current season.

Probable playing eleven of RCB: Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (captain), Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Tim Davide, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhinandan Singh, Josh Hazlewood. Impact Player: Suyyash Sharma.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Team: Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (captain), Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhinandan Singh, Josh Hazlewood, Venkatesh Iyer, Suyash Sharma, Jacob Bethel, Rasikh Salaam Dar, Kanishk Chauhan, Jacob Duffy, Mangesh Yadav, Swapnil Singh, Jordan Cox, Vicky Ostwal, Vihaan Malhotra, Satwik Deswal.
