KKR ride on Raghuvanshi masterclass to post 192/4 against RCB

Raipur, May 13 (UNI) Young wicketkeeper-batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi produced a composed yet dazzling 71 to script Kolkata Knight Riders' recovery from early setbacks and steer them to a challenging 192 for four against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2026 encounter at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium here on Wednesday.
In an innings filled with attacking strokes and momentum swings, Raghuvanshi emerged as the glue holding KKR's batting together, combining aggression with maturity on a surface that was not entirely easy for strokeplay.
After being sent in to bat by RCB captain Rajat Patidar, KKR began briskly through Finn Allen, who struck three fours and a six in his rapid 18 off eight balls. Finn launched Jacob Duffy for consecutive boundaries and a towering six over long-off before Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed him with a delivery that shaped away sharply.
