Vaibhav Suryavanshi flopped, had 2 wickets at 12, then Riyan Parag created havoc; Rajasthan scored 225 runs

Despite a bad start, Rajasthan Royals have put 225 runs on the scoreboard. Rajasthan team had lost two wickets on the score of just 12 runs, but captain Riyan Parag’s innings of 90 runs proved to be a success. Dhruv Jurel also contributed 40 runs, but in front of the havoc created by Donovan Ferreira in the death overs, Mitchell Starc’s lethal speed also failed. Ferreira scored 47 runs in 14 balls.

There were 2 wickets at 12, then Riyan Parag shone

Within the first 12 runs, both the opening batsmen of Rajasthan Royals were out. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 6 runs, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi was clean bowled by Kyle Jamieson on the score of 4 runs. Riyan Parag was able to score only 117 runs in his first 9 innings of IPL 2026, but his form returned against Delhi. Here, while playing captaincy innings, he scored 90 runs in 50 balls. In this stormy innings he hit 8 fours and 5 sixes.

Riyan Parag along with Dhruv Jurel made a partnership of 102 runs. After that, Parag along with Ravindra Jadeja added 53 runs in a flamboyant manner. Parag was out after scoring 90 runs in the 17th over, but after that a storm named Donovan Ferreira was about to come.

Donovan Ferreira wreaked havoc

Donovan Ferreira came to bat in the 17th over. He hit three sixes in the 18th over of Kuldeep Yadav. After that he did not even spare Mitchell Starc, against whom Ferreira hit a four and a six. T Natarajan had dismissed Shubham Dubey on the very first ball of the last over. The last start was good for Delhi, but the end was equally useless. A four and a six came on the third and fourth balls respectively. On the last ball, Akshar Patel dropped the catch of Ferreira, which hit Akshar’s hand and went for a six.
