Rajasthan Royals Beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru as Phil Salt Creates Unwanted IPL Record
Phil Salt's Unwanted Record in IPL, IPL 2026, RR vs RCB: In the 16th match of IPL 2026, Phil Salt was dismissed by Jofra Archer, earning him an unwanted record.
In the 16th IPL 2026 match, Rajasthan Royals took on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Friday. RCB won the toss but started their batting innings poorly. Phil Salt got out without scoring any runs. Salt has made another record that he certainly wouldn’t want to be part of.
For the third time in his IPL career, Salt was dismissed off the first delivery of the game. He now holds the unfortunate record of being dismissed off the first delivery of the game the most times in the IPL. Salt was caught by Dhruv Jurel off Jofra Archer’s bowling. Parthiv Patel (4) holds the record for the most dismissals off the first ball of an innings in the IPL. Salt, Dwayne Bravo, Prithvi Shaw, and KL Rahul are next on this unwanted list.
Devdutt Padikkal, who scored half-centuries in the previous two matches, also failed to make a significant impact, managing only 14 off 7 balls. Ravi Bishnoi dismissed Krunal Pandya for 1 run. Virat Kohli failed to convert his good start into a big innings. He scored 32 runs off 16 balls with the help of 7 fours before being clean bowled by Ravi Bishnoi.
