Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have met 35 times in the men’s IPL through 10 April 2026. Bengaluru hold 17 wins to Rajasthan’s 15, with three games ending without a result. Rajasthan narrowed the gap by chasing RCB’s 201/8 in Guwahati in their latest meeting; the 2026 game did not erase those older rain-affected fixtures from the all-time count.
Their encounters reach back to the IPL’s opening season in 2008, when Rajasthan won both league games and later lifted the inaugural trophy. RCB have since won the 2025 and 2026 titles. The recent head-to-head tells a separate story: Bengaluru took both 2025 meetings, while Rajasthan won the two 2024 games in the last-five set and the most recent 2026 meeting.
Rajasthan Royals
Royal Challengers BengaluruRR vs RCB IPL head-to-head record
RCB lead the decided games 17–15, but a full meetings tally is 35, not 32. Three scheduled encounters produced no result: one abandoned match in Bengaluru in 2011, a 2015 no-result there and another in 2019. These are not Rajasthan or Bengaluru wins. Counting only ball-by-ball matches can miss the zero-ball 2011 abandonment and understate the number of meetings by one.
The split before the 10 April 2026 match was RCB 17, RR 14 and three no-results from 34 meetings. Rajasthan’s six-wicket chase took its win column to 15. The first three numbers below therefore describe outcomes through the completed 2026 game, not a future fixture or a 2027 prediction.

Most runs in RR vs RCB IPL matches
Virat Kohli has 928 runs in this particular IPL matchup through 10 April 2026. AB de Villiers follows on 488 and Sanju Samson on 445. Devdutt Padikkal‘s 434 runs include innings across his RR and RCB appearances, while Jos Buttler has 420. These are opponent-specific totals, not season totals or a current-squad list.
Opponent-specific IPL runs through the latest completed RR–RCB game on 10 April 2026; a player is counted across franchises where applicable.
A dated pre-match batting table put Kohli on 896, and his 32 for Bengaluru in Guwahati took him to 928. Padikkal, tied with Buttler on 420 before the game, made 14 and moved to 434. Neither de Villiers nor Samson nor Buttler batted in that latest fixture, leaving their listed matchup figures unchanged. This date distinction matters when comparing a pre-match leaderboard with the final head-to-head.
Last five RR vs RCB IPL meetings
In Guwahati on 10 April 2026, RCB made 201/8, with Rajat Patidar scoring 63. Rajasthan reached 202/4 in 18 overs to win by six wickets; Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made 78 and Dhruv Jurel finished on 81 not out. That result ended a two-game losing run against Bengaluru from the 2025 season.

The Eliminator and league game are separate meetings, not alternate accounts of the same result.
