The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 57 of the 2026 Indian Premier League at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Wednesday, May 13.
The defending champions play their final home game of the season in their second home in Raipur. They beat the Mumbai Indians by two wickets in a nail-biting finish off the final ball of the innings in their previous game. They sit in a comfortable position with 14 points in 11 games and will be looking to finish strongly in the top two.
The Kolkata Knight Riders started their season poorly but now find themselves in a solid position after a four-game winning streak. They beat the Delhi Capitals in their previous encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. With four games in hand and an uptick in form, they will be looking to make their way to the playoffs in a season where they were mostly discarded from contention.
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur – Pitch Report
The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium saw its first IPL game in ten years when RCB took on MI on May 10. The black-soil wicket saw inconsistent bounce, while also offering movement in the air and off the surface. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was able to exploit the new-ball offerings in the powerplay for RCB, while MI’s Corbin Bosch’s hit-the-deck bowling proved a potential difference point. The wicket is not one where batters can take the bowling on from the get-go.
