In a high-stakes match on Friday, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets in IPL 2026. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old prodigy, showcased his talent by scoring 78 runs off 26 balls, leading RR to chase down RCB's total of 201 runs with two overs remaining. Sooryavanshi's performance included hitting Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood for three boundaries and a six in consecutive deliveries. With this victory, RR extended their unbeaten run to four matches and handed RCB their first loss of the season. Dhruv Jurel also played a pivotal role, contributing an unbeaten 81 runs and forming a crucial partnership of 108 runs with Sooryavanshi. RCB's innings saw captain Rajat Patidar scoring 63 runs, but their total proved insufficient against RR's strong batting lineup.
