Royal Challengers Bengaluru have always been known for their explosive batting, and the IPL 2026 squad continues that tradition with a strong mix of power, timing and finishing ability. From established stars to dynamic all-rounders, RCB possess several batters capable of clearing the ropes with ease.<\/p>\n
Virat Kohli<\/strong> may be celebrated for his consistency, but his six-hitting ability remains a crucial weapon for RCB. Once set, Kohli\u2019s clean hitting down the ground and over midwicket allows him to dominate bowlers and shift momentum during crucial phases of the innings.<\/p>\n Tim David<\/strong> is RCB\u2019s most destructive power-hitter. Known for his brute strength and ability to clear long boundaries, David is a proven finisher who can change games in a matter of overs, especially in the death phase.<\/p>\n Romario Shepherd<\/strong> adds raw muscle to RCB\u2019s lower middle order. The West Indies all-rounder is capable of hitting towering sixes against pace and spin, making him a dangerous option late in the innings.<\/p>\n Phil Salt<\/strong> brings aggressive intent at the top of the order. His ability to attack from ball one and clear the infield regularly puts opposition bowlers under pressure early in the innings.<\/p>\n Venkatesh Iyer<\/strong>, signed at the IPL 2026 auction, strengthens RCB\u2019s power-hitting depth. The left-hander\u2019s strength against both pace and spin makes him a valuable middle-order option capable of accelerating quickly.<\/p>\n Rajat Patidar<\/strong> has also developed into a confident six-hitter, particularly against spin. His ability to clear the ropes in the middle overs adds balance to RCB\u2019s batting lineup.<\/p>\n With a blend of experience, power and attacking intent, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head into IPL 2026 with a batting unit well-equipped to score quickly and dominate bowling attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Royal Challengers Bengaluru have always been known for their explosive batting, and the IPL 2026 squad continues that tradition with\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":43117,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
