It seemed as if Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 103 off just 37 was an ordinary knock, as Sunrisers Hyderabad made a mockery of the run chase, getting past the finishing line with an over and half to spare against Rajasthan Royals in Match 36 of IPL 2026, which was played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, on April 25. Ishan Kishan (71 off 30) was the Player of the Match for his exceptional power-hitting in the chase.

Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal opened for RR when Pat Cummins won the toss, asking the hosts to set a total. The wonderful start was carried forward by Dhruv Jurel, while Donovan Ferreira also provided a decent hand. Eshan Malinga was the pick of the bowlers in the first innings, with a couple of wickets for just 38, with Cummins also conceding only 27 for his only breakthrough of the night. SRH needed 229 to win and gain two crucial points.

The run chase began with Travis Head departing in the first over itself. That did not dent the confidence of the SRH batters, though. Abhishek and Kishan combined to put up a 132-run act for the second wicket. Their blazing partnership brought the scoreline down to 139 after 10 overs, as SRH required only 90 off the last ten with eight wickets in hand.

Abhishek continued his form from the previous centurion outing and contributed 57 off only 29 balls, hitting 11 fours and a solitary maximum in the process. Kishan, on the other hand, stood at the crease for 31 balls and hit as many fours as his partner in crime but also managed to hit three over the boundary ropes. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen then handled the middle overs perfectly and brought SRH closer to the shores.

Salil Arora hit the winning runs, with the visitors walking off with a five-wicket win against a formidable Riyan Parag-led lineup.

Mastermind behind the victory ✌️🙌
