The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will play as the defending champions in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Ahead of the tournament, RCB's Jacob Bethell has joined the training camp along with Phil Salt. Both players were in England's squad for the T20 World Cup. They went back to England for some rest days but have finally joined the training camp as the tournament is just five days away.

RCB's squad looks strong in this season as they will retain most of the players from the previous playing XI. Meanwhile, Bethell was amazed with a magic trick done by a fan in the team hotel recently. The fan drew a dot on one hand and asked the cricketer to show it in front of the camera.

Following that, he asked him to make a fist with both hands and did some tricks due to which the dot transferred to the other hand. The English cricketer was ecstatic with the trick and couldn't believe what happened with him. He was sitting and chilling with Phil Salt at the team hotel in Bengaluru.
