RCB opener Phil Salt is set to return to India after a month out with a finger injury sustained against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. He has missed several matches but RCB have already secured a playoff spot and lead the table. His return timing for the final league match vs Sunrisers Hyderabad is uncertain.
New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opening batter Phil Salt is set to return to India later this week after being sidelined for a month from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season with a finger injury, as per ESPNcricinfo.
Phil Salt injured a finger on his left hand while attempting to stop a boundary during his team's loss to the Delhi Capitals on April 18. He has not played since and returned home last month.
In his absence, defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru have already secured a playoff berth and are on course to qualify for Qualifier 1 in Dharamsala next Tuesday, unless there is a major swing in the Net Run Rate of teams in the IPL 2026 points table.
It is still unclear whether Salt will return for RCB's final league match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad on Friday.
