In the IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) skipper Rajat Patidar has won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow.

After winning the toss, RCB skipper Patidar said, "We will bowl first. It's not as loud as Chinnaswamy, but it's still loud. I think we're gonna get a pretty hard surface, but I'm not sure, it's a black soil pitch and the past four or five matches here had low scores. We'll try to restrict them to as low a score as possible. (on the break) It was a good break I would say. And everyone is looking in good frame of mind. And we came together after six or seven days of pretty hard work plus a couple of weeks. As I said, everyone is doing pretty well throughout the tournament and we are looking forward for this game. We're playing with the same team".
