Indian men’s and women’s teams include RCB and KKR players as net bowlers for Shreyas Iyer and the rest of the squad ahead of the Asian Games 2026, according to a report. The teams begin their Asian Games campaign later this month, with the goal of defending their existing gold medals.
The report frames the appointments as part of preparations for the cricket event at the Games. It indicates that both the men’s and women’s India squads will use the net-bowling support from players associated with franchises including Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The overall focus across outlets is on squad preparation and continuity of success rather than on match-day outcomes or specific controversies.
While the sources do not provide additional details in the excerpts beyond the net-bowler selection and the teams’ gold-medal defense objective, they align on the timing and purpose of the appointments as part of India’s Asian Games build-up.
