MI vs RCB: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 20 of IPL 2026

The MI vs RCB match of the IPL 2026 will be played in Mumbai on Sunday.

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are two top contenders to win Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Both sides are looking compact with star-studded lineups. The action will start at 7:30 PM IST on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Both sides lost their previous game, but facing each other always brings the best out of them. A game between MI and RCB is always a special event for the cricket lovers, and a lot will be at stake.

This game will see some top names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and many others. That is why it can be a little tough to pick 11 players for the Dream11 team.

Hence, we have suggested five players from MI vs RCB clash who could be a great choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the MI vs RCB clash

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli in big games is a totally different batter. He loves to perform under pressure, and there can’t be a bigger pressure than facing the five-time champions.

In the IPL, Virat has scored the most runs (980 runs) against MI. He likes this opposition, and his form is also pretty good. All these factors make him an ideal player for fantasy platforms.

The RCB captain Rajat Patidar has been in great form in the IPL 2026. In three matches, he has scored 31, 48*, and 63 and has played well under pressure.

RCB lost the last game, and Patidar will be keen to bring his team back to winning ways. Notably, the last time these two teams played, Patidar won the Player of the Match award for his 64 off 32 balls.

3. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has shown good form and has played useful knocks in the IPL 2026. He will be a big threat for RCB, because if he can stay on the crease for a while, he can be very dangerous.

Rohit likes playing at Wankhede Stadium and also against RCB. Among the current cricketers, Rohit has scored the most runs against RCB in the IPL.

4. Hardik Pandya

The MI captain Hardik Pandya will be under pressure after two consecutive defeats. That is when we might see something special from Hardik. He is one of the few players who add value in all three departments.

With the bat, ball, and field, Hardik puts his all, which is why he can earn fantasy points in all three departments. The last time he faced RCB, he scored 42 off 15 and took two wickets.

5. Devdutt Padikkal

Devdutt Padikkal has established himself as a key performer for RCB. The franchise has invested a lot in him, and he is returning the favor back with some good performances.

MI are struggling to take wickets in the middle overs. That is where Padikkal can take advantage. He can be an underrated but good pick for your Dream11 team.
