Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have chosen to take a break from the hard work of IPL 2026, at least for a little while. The defending champions have flown to the Maldives for a mid-season break because they have a rare week off in their schedule. They want to recharge before the tournament’s business end kicks off. Considering the start they have had in the IPL 2026, having won six of their nine matches, RCB surely deserve a cool-off period.
Rajat Patidar’s team is comfortably placed in the top two and well on track for a playoff spot. A fantastic pattern hsa been in their campaign, where they have won two games before a loss and then repeated it. The Maldives trip came to light after New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy shared a glimpse from the island nation on social media. While the franchise hasn’t officially announced the trip, it is understood to be a short break aimed at keeping players mentally fresh during a long tournament.
