IPL 2026 Preview

After ending an 18-year-long trophy drought, Rajat Patidar-led RCB will enter the IPL 2026 as the defending champions and will want to claim the championship once more. On the other hand, Punjab Kings (PBKS), Mumbai Indians (MI), and Gujarat Titans (GT), who had put up spirited fights in the last season but fell short in the end, would look to take those final steps in the upcoming season.

But coming off a bottom-place finish, the five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), might produce a stunning comeback, backed by their new acquisitions in the IPL 2026. Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) would be eager to turn the tables as well, while Sunrisers Hyderabad would bank on their fiery batting line-up to set the stage ablaze.

However, an injury-depleted Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would be concerned around finalising their bowling combination. Notably, Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to begin a new journey under the leadership of Riyan Parag, while Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to take the learnings from the previous edition, as they had failed to continue the momentum after four successive wins to kick off the tournament.
