IPL 2026 — What to Watch in the First Week
T20Live Analysis Desk · 28 March 2026
IPL 2026 opens at M. Chinnaswamy on March 28 with RCB hosting MI — a fixture that has decided playoff spots in three of the last five seasons. Both sides enter with overhauled batting orders and questions in the powerplay. With 10 teams and only 4 playoff spots, every game from week one carries real weight. Watch Gujarat Titans and LSG — both have the bowling depth to outperform their auction rankings.

RCB send a statement: Kohli and Duffy dismantle SRH on opening night
T20Live Analysis Desk · 29 March 2026
Jacob Duffy's debutant 3/22 inside the powerplay wrecked SRH's top order, and Devdutt Padikkal (61 off 26) followed by Kohli's unbeaten 69 off 38 made the chase look embarrassingly easy. The 26-ball margin of victory wasn't flattery — RCB genuinely looked a class above. Ishan Kishan's 80 was excellent, but his side had no support act until Aniket Verma's late 43. SRH's bowling is a real problem heading into the season.

MI vs KKR: Two wounded giants meet at Wankhede
T20Live Analysis Desk · 29 March 2026
Mumbai Indians haven't won their IPL opener since 2012. KKR lost Harshit Rana, Akash Deep, and Pathirana before a ball was bowled. Tonight's match is less about who's better and more about who's less broken. Bumrah's availability saves MI; Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine are KKR's best hope of stealing it. Wankhede doesn't need conditions to be batting-friendly — it just is. Dew from around the 14th over will make life harder for those two spinners if KKR field first, which is exactly why both captains will want to win the toss tonight.

RR vs CSK: The reunion match nobody saw coming
T20Live Analysis Desk · 29 March 2026
Ravindra Jadeja is now a Rajasthan Royal. Sanju Samson is now a Chennai Super King. CSK are without Dhoni for at least two weeks. RR finished ninth last season. This match in Guwahati is almost a fresh start for both sides — which makes it the most watchable fixture of the opening week once the dust settles on tonight.
