RCB hit reset mode ahead of IPL 2026 campaign

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have returned home ahead of IPL 2026, starting March 28, determined to rebuild after a disappointing season that exposed cracks in their setup.
The franchise is now focusing on a fresh identity and stronger execution. “We’ve taken the lessons and want a new start,” a team source said. Another insider added, “There’s a clear push to play smarter and more consistent cricket.”
RCB’s lack of balance and form hurt them last year. “They need clarity in roles and better finishing,” an expert noted.
With renewed energy in the camp, RCB are looking to turn past setbacks into a comeback season.
