RCB vs RR head-to-head in IPL started back in 2008, the very first IPL season. Since then, 34 matches have been played. And the gap between these two sides is just three wins.
That is how close this rivalry has been.
RCB lead 17-14, with three games rained off. But those numbers do not tell you about Sanju Samson (RR) hitting 92 off 45 balls at Chinnaswamy. Or Anil Kumble (RCB) taking 5/5 in a T20 game. Or Jos Buttler (RR) walking out in a qualifier and smashing 106 not out to take RR into a final.
RCB won both games in 2023 by a big margin. RR came back in 2024 and won both. Every time one side looks like it’s pulling away, the other pulls them right back.
