Rajasthan Royals solidified their supremacy in IPL 2026 with a resounding six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati. Chasing 202, RR romped home in just 18 overs, led by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s blistering 78-run mayhem off 26 deliveries, featuring eight boundaries and seven maximums.
Earlier, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar anchored the innings with 63 runs after RR won the toss and bowled first. Virat Kohli contributed 32, but the middle order struggled despite Venkatesh Iyer’s 29 and Romario Shepherd’s 22, ending at 201/8.
Dhruv Jurel’s elegant 81 off 43 balls (eight fours, three sixes) and an unbeaten 24 from Ravindra Jadeja ensured RR crossed the line comfortably. Suryavanshi’s heroics earned him Player of the Match honors.
The win boosts RR to 8 points from four straight victories, topping the table. PBKS follows with 5 points, RCB drops to third with 4, tied with DC. LSG also on 4, while SRH, GT, and MI have 2 each. KKR has 1 point, CSK zero.
In individual awards, Suryavanshi grabs the Orange Cap with 200 runs in four innings. Ravi Bishnoi holds the Purple Cap with 9 scalps. RR’s juggernaut rolls on, eyeing playoff glory early in the season.
