RCB vs MI: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 54 of IPL 2026

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

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will be up against each other in match 54 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. This blockbuster clash is scheduled to be played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, on Sunday at 7:30 PM IST.

RCB have already beaten MI this season, but they are coming into this contest on the back of two straight defeats. Jacob Bethell and Jitesh Sharma have been two players who have been struggling badly. RCB will hope they can do well in this important match.

MI are coming off a big win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the absence of captain Hardik Pandya. Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma once again played a crucial role in the win. These two star-studded sides have several good players to choose from for a fantasy team.

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

Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the RCB vs MI clash

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli got out for a second-ball duck in the last game, but he is too good of a player to miss in consecutive innings. Especially when he is facing MI, which is one of his favourite opponents.

Virat is the only batter with 1000+ IPL runs against MI. This season, he has scored 379 runs at 47.37 and a strike rate of 164.06 with three half-centuries. He is an ideal player to pick against MI.

2. Rohit Sharma

Just like Virat likes MI, Rohit Sharma also loves facing Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He has scored 867 runs against RCB with seven half-centuries. Rohit has missed a few matches this season due to injury.

He has played five innings in IPL 2026 and has scored 221 runs at an average of 55.25 and a strike rate of 174.01, with two half-centuries. He is another good Dream11 pick for this game.

3. Ryan Rickelton

Ryan Rickelton is MI’s leading scorer in the IPL 2026. The left-hander has been unstoppable at the top. He has played 8 innings and has struck 33 sixes and 25 fours already.

Ryan has scored 380 runs at an average of 54.28 and a blistering strike rate of 190.95, with one century and two half-centuries. He can be a good keeper for the Dream11 pick.

4. Rajat Patidar

The RCB captain Rajat Patidar almost pulled off a miracle chase in the last game against LSG. Until he was batting, RCB were in with a chance. His contribution in the middle has been the reason that RCB have been doing well since 2025.

This season, he has scored 318 runs at an average of 39.75 and an excellent strike rate of 200. Patidar has already hit 30 sixes and 17 fours. These are great numbers for a middle-order batter.

5. Devdutt Padikkal

Devdutt Padikkal is another in-form RCB batter who has played a key role in the team’s success. The left-hander has done his work quietly and has contributed with game-changing cameos.

So far, he has scored 316 runs at an average of 39.50 and a strike rate of 180.57 with three half-centuries. He has not let the scoring rate get down, and his aggressive approach has given him success also.
