Sooryavanshi, Jurel Power Rajasthan Royals to Dominant Win Over RCB

Rajasthan Royals continued their impressive run in the Indian Premier League 2026 season with a convincing six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati, driven by outstanding performances from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel.

Chasing a stiff target of 202, Rajasthan Royals made light work of the total, reaching 202/4 in just 18 overs. The win marked their fourth consecutive victory, keeping their unbeaten streak intact and strengthening their position in the league standings.

The match belonged to young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who delivered a stunning knock of 78 off just 26 balls. His aggressive batting at the top dismantled the RCB bowling attack and set the tone for a successful chase. Displaying confidence and attacking flair, Sooryavanshi once again underlined his rising stature in the tournament.

He found solid support in Jurel, who anchored the innings with a composed unbeaten 81 off 43 deliveries. The duo stitched together a crucial partnership exceeding 100 runs at a rapid pace, effectively sealing the contest in Rajasthan’s favour.

Earlier, RCB posted a competitive total of 201/8. Captain Rajat Patidar led from the front with a well-made 63, while a late burst from Venkatesh Iyer helped push the total beyond the 200-run mark. However, their bowlers failed to defend the score against Rajasthan’s aggressive batting lineup.

The defeat marked RCB’s first setback of the season, exposing vulnerabilities in their bowling under pressure. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals’ consistent performances highlight their strong title credentials this season.

With momentum firmly on their side, Rajasthan Royals will look to continue their winning streak, while RCB aim to bounce back and address key concerns in the matches ahead.
