Rajasthan Royals lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a commanding batting display in Match 36 of IPL 2026.
Winning the toss, Sunrisers Hyderabad opted to field, but Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s explosive century off just 36 balls set the tone for a massive total. Partnered by Dhruv Jurel’s inventive half-century, RR stormed past 200 once again this season.
Despite losing Riyan Parag cheaply to Pat Cummins, the Royals maintained momentum with late fireworks from Shimron Hetmyer and Donovan Ferreira. SRH bowlers fought back in the death overs, with Praful Hinge and Eshan Malinga striking crucial blows, yet RR finished at 228/6.
The Jaipur pitch once again proved a batting paradise, rewarding aggressive strokeplay after the powerplay. With SRH’s strong batting lineup featuring Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen, the chase promises a high-octane contest under lights.
