Yesterday IPL Match Result: Sooryavanshi burst early, Jurel finished calmly

There are fast starts and then there are what Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivers. The 15-year-old once again stunned the opposition with a 15-ball half-century, hitting seven sixes at a strike rate of close to 300. He didn’t pick the bowlers; He ruled everyone.
His batting game stood out in terms of control as well as aggression. Whether pulling or driving high, he maintained balance while scoring at a dizzying pace. On the other hand, Dhruv Jurel played an excellent foil. He took his time but made sure the momentum never waned.

By the end of the powerplay, the match had already swung heavily in Rajasthan’s favour.

The chase never slipped even when Krunal Pandya removed Sooryavanshi and Shimron Hetmyer in one over. Jurel paced himself wisely; first it became stronger, then it accelerated. His unbeaten 81 took Rajasthan home without any drama.
A steady 68-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja ensured there were no late surprises, although Jadeja had a few nervy moments at the crease. Rajasthan’s dominance can also be seen in the Orange Cap race, with Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jurel at the top of the order, turning the scoreboard noticeably pink.

IPL match yesterday: Patidar anchored but RCB lost control in the middle overs

After a 75-minute delay, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were asked to bat first and had a mixed game. Jofra Archer struck early, dismissing Phil Salt and setting the tone.

Virat Kohli responded aggressively with a quick 32 off 16 balls, keeping Bengaluru ahead in the powerplay. However, the shots soon lost direction.

From 61/3 wickets fell regularly. Ravi Bishnoi’s double hit slowed down the scoring and the middle overs turned into a rebuilding phase rather than an acceleration.

Rajat Patidar made 63 off 40 balls with good pace. He started cautiously but then opened up, especially against the tempo. His knock in the 15th over helped Bengaluru regain some momentum.

Unbeaten on 29, Venkatesh Iyer’s late strike took the total over 200. However, it felt a bit short on a batting-friendly surface where Rajasthan made the chase look effortless.
