A Vaibhav Suryavanshi classic set up Rajasthan Royals’ six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in an IPL 2026 match at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Friday.

Suryavanshi slammed a 15-ball half-century and finished at 78 off 26 deliveries with the help of seven sixes and eight fours as RR chased down a 202-run target in 18 overs.

Dhruv Jurel played a handy knock of an unbeaten 81 off 43 balls to keep the chase going when Suryavanshi fell in the ninth over. Jurel and Jadeja added 68 off 50 balls for the fifth wicket to push RCB out of the game.

Earlier, Royal Challengers crawled their way past the 200-run mark courtesy of Rajat Patidar’s 63 and a late impact knock by substitute Venkatesh Iyer.
