Key Strategic Changes

 * The Opening Pair: With the departure of Sophie Devine, RCB is expected to pair Smriti Mandhana with the young Australian sensation Georgia Voll.

 * The Finishers: The middle order is significantly more "explosive" this year, featuring Richa Ghosh, Grace Harris, and Nadine de Klerk.

 * Spin Dominance: RCB has built one of the strongest spin attacks in the league, boasting Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Linsey Smith, giving them options for almost any surface.

 * The Perry Gap: The absence of Ellyse Perry is a major shift for the franchise. The team is looking toward players like Dayalan Hemalatha or Gautami Naik to fill that vital No. 3 spot.

The 2026 season officially kicks off today, January 9, with RCB taking on the Mumbai Indians.

The probable playing XI focuses on a "Spin-Heavy" attack and a new-look opening pair.
