In a high-octane IPL 2026 clash at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Rajasthan Royals rattled up 228 for 6 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, powered by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s sensational second IPL century. The 36th match saw RR, sent in to bat after losing the toss, recover from Jaiswal’s early exit to post a formidable score.
Vaibhav and Dhruv Jurel forged a match-defining 112-run partnership off 62 balls after Yashasvi Jaiswal fell for 10. The young gun Vaibhav tore apart the SRH attack, reaching his hundred in 36 balls—IPL’s third quickest—ending with 103 off 37 balls laced with 5 boundaries and 12 massive sixes.
Jurel’s 51 off 35 (8×4, 1×6) provided solid support, but skipper Riyan Parag flopped with 7 off 9. Hetmyer (11 off 10) followed suit, before Ferreira’s late fireworks of 33 off 16 (3×4, 3×6) pushed RR past 220. Jadeja scored 4, Archer unbeaten on 2.
Bowling for SRH, Hingorani and Malinga claimed 2/ each, Cummins and Saqib 1/ each. RR’s XI: Parag (c), Jaiswal, Vaibhav, Jurel (wk), Hetmyer, Ferreira, Jadeja, Archer, Deshpande, Burger, Sharma. SRH: Cummins (c), Abhishek, Kishan, Klaasen, Arora (wk), Verma, Reddy, Shivang, Saqib, Hingorani, Malinga.
Vaibhav’s masterclass has tilted the scales, leaving SRH with a mountain to climb in this Jaipur showdown.
