Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2026 encounter between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, April 15!
An in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be looking to continue its run of strong performances when it returns home to face a Lucknow Super Giants side chastened by defeat to Gujarat Titans last time out.
Match details:
Date & Time: April 15, 2026; 7:30 PM IST
Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Injury news: Virat Kohli and Rasikh Dar were both forced off the field for RCB against Mumbai Indians, but both are expected to be fit for this match. LSG, meanwhile, will be buoyed by the return of Mayank Yadav, who has been declared fit to play.
Pitch/weather report: The pitch is expected to once again favour the batters, though the Chinnaswamy is known to have some early movement in the first innings. Dew is expected to set in later in the day, meaning that chasing will likely become easier.
Good evening!

Bayern Munich showed mental strength and absolute belief to come from behind thrice before beating Real Madrid 4-3 to reach the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday, coach Vincent Kompany said.
Kompany, who was booked during the game and will miss Bayern’s last-four first leg against holder Paris Saint-Germain, said the Bavarians, who are chasing a treble of titles, had to dig deep to overcome record 15-time European champions Real 6-4 on aggregate in a classic tie.
“The boys were mentally strong today to recover from setbacks,” Kompany said. “The fans helped us as well. We stayed calm and always felt that our moment would come. The boys deserved this win.
“What remains for me is the total togetherness that we showed. That’s what we take from the game. We showed absolute belief and will to fight our way back into the game.”
“During the game our team has a lot of talent and experience to deal with these situations. After 35 seconds in this game to concede a goal, you then have to press the reset button. We stayed focused on our game,” Kompany said.
Host Bayern trailed 0-1 after 35 seconds when Arda Guler took advantage of a bad mistake by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, and Real twice more took the lead to go into half-time 3-2 ahead.
Bayern, 2-1 winner of the first leg in Spain, kept its composure, however, and struck twice in the dying stages through Luis Diaz and Michael Olise to snatch victory and advance to the last four.
The six-time European champion can potentially clinch the Bundesliga title this weekend, with a 12-point advantage and five matches remaining, before facing Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup semifinals.
“It was a very emotional game,” said Kompany, in his second season at Bayern. “We had a lot of possession and always had the feeling we could score. But Real Madrid remain Real Madrid. They have very quick players and are always a threat.”
Kompany became the 11th coach to lead Bayern to the European Cup semifinals.

Rory McIlroy’s sixth career major title — his second consecutive win at the Masters — earned a major ratings boost for CBS in the final round on Sunday afternoon.
The fourth round averaged nearly 14 million viewers — 13,995,000, more precisely — the most to watch CBS for the final day from Augusta National since the network averaged 14 million in 2015 when Jordan Spieth captured his first major, Front Office Sports reported.
Sunday’s final round was an 8% increase from April 2025 (12.71 million), when McIlroy completed a career grand slam. The Northern Irishman’s dramatic, emotional finish last year came in a playoff against England’s Justin Rose.
The 2026 edition also came with tension, as McIlroy shared the top of the leaderboard after the first round, surged to a record six-shot lead after 36 holes but saw that erased as he and Cameron Young were tied for the lead after three rounds.
Viewership numbers reflected that, as the third round averaged 8.1 million on CBS, a 14% increase from 7.6 million in 2025 and the largest number since Tiger Woods played the third round en route to his 2019 victory.
As McIlroy lost and regained his lead on Sunday, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler charged from four strokes behind and finished one shot back of McIlroy, who joined Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Woods as the only consecutive champions in Masters history.
The ratings followed on Sunday, peaking at slightly more than 20 million viewers — the largest at the Masters since 2013, when Adam Scott earned the green jacket and Woods tied for fourth. The peak viewership in 2025 was 19.54 million.
The 2026 Masters was the first since Nielsen began compiling ratings figures exclusively through its Big Data+ Panel methodology. The expanded system, designed for a more holistic and accurate view of audience behaviors, generally results in higher overall ratings for live sports broadcasts compared to the old method, according to Front Office Sports.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said Wednesday that Iran will participate in the World Cup “for sure” despite its war with the United States of America (USA).
Speaking at CNBC’s Invest in America Forum, Infantino said it is important that Iran participates in the World Cup even though its participation has been in doubt since the USA and Israel launched airstrikes on the country.
“The Iranian team is coming for sure, yes,” Infantino said. “We hope that by then, of course, the situation will be a peaceful situation. As I said, that would definitely help. But Iran has to come. Of course, they represent their people. They have qualified. The players want to play.”
Infantino met with the Iranian national team in Antalya, Turkey, two weeks ago and said Wednesday he was impressed.
“I went to see them. They are actually quite a good team as well,” Infantino said. “And they really want to play and they should play. Sports should be outside of politics now.”
Infantino acknowledged it’s not always possible to achieve the separation of sports and politics.
“OK we don’t live on the moon, we live on planet Earth,” Infantino said. “But you know if there is nobody else that believes in building bridges and in keeping them, you know, intact and together, well we are doing that job.”
The USA will co-host the World Cup with Canada and Mexico.
Iran is scheduled to play two group-stage games in Inglewood, California, and one in Seattle.
The war has raised doubts about Iran’s participation in the World Cup. There have been conflicting public comments from Iranian government and football officials.
U.S. President Donald Trump discouraged the Iranian team from attending the tournament, citing safety concerns.
