Royal Challengers Bengaluru saw their remarkable run in away matches come to an end after a defeat to Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on April 11, 2026. The loss snapped a historic 10-match winning streak in designated away fixtures, a run that had underlined RCB's transformation into one of the most formidable travelling sides in the IPL.
The streak began on April 21, 2024, and stretched nearly two years, during which RCB consistently delivered strong performances away from home. Their ability to adapt to varying conditions and handle pressure situations played a key role in building this impressive sequence of victories.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Remarkable 2025-26 Season
A standout phase came during the 2025-26 cycle, where RCB won nine out of ten away matches, showcasing both batting firepower
and improved bowling depth. Among the notable highlights was a commanding victory over the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium during IPL 2025, a venue traditionally considered challenging for visiting teams.
RCB's away success was built on a balanced approach, aggressive top-order batting complemented by disciplined bowling performances in crucial phases of the game. Their consistency on the road became a defining feature of their campaign and a major factor behind their rise in form over the past two seasons.
Royals Halt Momentum In Guwahati
However, the run finally came to a halt against a dominant Rajasthan Royals side in Guwahati. After being put under pressure, RCB were unable to maintain their away dominance, as RR produced a clinical performance to secure victory and end the streak.
Despite the setback, RCB's 10-match away winning run remains a significant achievement in IPL history, reflecting the team's resilience and growth. As the season progresses, they will look to quickly regroup and rediscover the formula that made them such a strong force away from home.
