Jacob Duffy was dropped from RCB's playing eleven against RR in the IPL 2026 Match 16 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday, April 10. RCB captain Rajat Patidar confirmed Duffy's exclusion during the toss. The star Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood replaced the Kiwi speedster in RCB's XI against RR.
"Unfortunately, Jacob Duffy misses out on this game. Josh in the place of Duffy. Duffy also bowled brilliantly in the last game. But everyone knows Josh is an experienced player, a specialist. But I think his presence will definitely put us in a good frame of mind, I think," Patidar said at the toss.
