IPL 2026, PBKS vs RR Highlights: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines again, Rajasthan Royals hand Punjab Kings first defeat of the season

IPL 2026, PBKS vs RR: Donovan Ferreira handed Player of the Match award

Donovan Ferreira said: "Yeah, I think it was a good innings. Just really keeping my mind nice and clear, exactly the same as when I was a kid playing with a toy truck. Just taking it ball by ball. I just kept on telling the guys, we need to be positive. It's not that hard to get that score. But we need to keep showing intent. We mustn't be predictable and just swing for every ball. So let's be calculated and play good cricket shots. (batting under pressure) I think it's important to really just take it ball by ball and not look too far ahead. I just kept on reminding myself it's only 12s, 10s, you know, that's one good over and then the game becomes a lot simpler. And, you know, luckily for me, Shubham came in and took a lot of pressure off me, played a really crucial knock over there. And I knew if I just stayed there and not lose my wicket, then I can catch up in one over. So luckily for me, that happened in the second or the last over off Lockie's bowling. (what does this win do to the team and him?) Yeah, well, I mean, I think you need to win games to stay on top of the table. We're in the top four. It's a long tournament, so we just keep reminding ourselves that different guys need to put their hands up. We can't just rely on our openers, which have been really good for us. So yeah, I'm really pleased that I'm hitting the ball well and Shubham came in and did it as well. Jaiswal and them always setting it up in the couple.... of the first couple of overs. But it's important for us if it's your day, you need to step up and win the match for the team."

IPL 2026, PBKS vs RR: What RR captain says about the victory

Riyan Parag said: "I think as a team, what we've discussed right before the start of the tournament, I feel we treat this as a game. I know everything around it, it has a lot of value, but for us, I think it's again, when we lost last game, it was about the mistakes, the errors, what we did well. Same thing today. I thought we could have restricted them for a little lower, but then the batters picked up the slack. But yeah, next game, I feel moving forward, we discuss about this, review it, and then move forward. (close to your best game tonight?) Yeah, 100%. I feel we could have bowled a few overs better here and there and batted a few overs better in the middle, but around, I'd say around 35 overs, but you're never going to get 40 overs, but then that aspiration has always to be that you've gonna play 40 overs of good cricket. (concerns from the middle-order this season) The concerns were apart from us, was from everyone else. Everyone watching, everyone commentating. That was their concerns, not our concerns. We trust our players and their abilities a lot. When the middle-order doesn't fire, the openers, number three and the lower order have to like pick it up. When the middle-order fires and someone from the top doesn't get runs or goes at a slower rate, we pick it up. So as a team, I feel we have confidence and trust in every one of them. All the reasons and all the worries are outside, not for us. (plan during the chase?) I think the plan was to keep wickets in hand, but not fall too behind the run-rate. The way the openers went, Vaibhav and Jaiswal, I feel it just made our jobs very easier as usual. But the tough part was after the powerplay, keeping that momentum, keeping going at 10 an over. I think right after the powerplay, we got like overs of five, eight and something like that. So we got behind a little bit, but then we picked it up again. (on Dubey-Ferreira stand) Absolutely. I think him and Don, the way they played, they took it away from Punjab. I honestly thought it was going to be a very neck-to-neck because they would bowl a little bit more slower balls after watching us bowl it. But yeah, I think the way they batted, immense, like commendable."

IPL 2026, PBKS vs RR: Yashasvi Jaiswal also opens up after RR win

Yashasvi Jaiswal said: ​(on Sooryavanshi) "Of course, it's amazing. I really enjoyed batting with him and he's playing amazing. So it's always, I'm always happy seeing the other end, the way he's hitting the ball. (on him being the older one in the partnership with Sooryavanshi) I don't think so. I'm older. I'm still very young, but of course, the way he is and he's quite young. So, I don't know what to say about it, to be honest. (plan for the chase?) Of course, we knew that it's a high-scoring ground. So we have to keep the intent and we have to go whenever we feel like. So I was also thinking, okay, if it is in my range, so I'm gonna hit it. And of course, like we needed good start because we are scoring, we have to score 200, more than 200 runs. So it was pretty clear that we are going to hit the ball if it is in our arc. (on the changes in the middle-order tonight) I think it's been pretty good. Everyone trust each other and of course, everyone, they are not going to perform at the same day. But of course, we have a very good, good team. So we are practicing hard. We focus on process and I think it will come on a right time whenever it has to. I think we all are enjoying a lot. Very nice environment. Very happy all, all, all the guys and we are loving it. So we are just very excited for all the games. (on him having the freedom at the top) I think it's all about having fun in the middle. And of course, we know this game is like that also. We have to, we have to keep our intent and think to score runs as we all spread this into the dressing room if we get someone. So we, we should go for them. And yeah, just we are enjoying it."

IPL 2026, PBKS vs RR: PBKS captain speaks after their first defeat

Shreyas Iyer said: (where did it go wrong?) "I thought 224 on the board was a brilliant score. Kudos to the batsmen, the way they came up and they went against the bowlers. I think it was an exceptional performance, especially on this wicket, which was a bit tacky and slow. And I think we fell a bit short in our bowling, in terms of execution. We had planned to bowl a lot of slower ones, pace off, yorkers. I think we fell a bit short over there. And also, they had tremendous partnership in the middle, especially by Ferreira and Shubham Dubey coming in and scoring those crucial runs at the end. (on the bowling unit which has struggled this season) See, this is the format where I feel that a lot of players have changed their game and when they come in, they go bang from ball one. So it's an arduous task for bowlers to come with a certain plan. But at the end of the day, I feel it's all about execution. If you have a certain plan set, when you execute it well, you come out triumphs. And today it just wasn't our day. (what do you say to try and get back to winning ways?) I think it's important that we stick to the things that we've been doing, the routines and the processes that we've been following throughout. We had a match, we had to travel and then come and play another game. So I think the body was also a bit fatigued, but that can't be the reason over here. But we've got couple of days to refresh, go back to the drawing board and come back strong. (learnings from this loss) Well, absolutely. I feel that this is our first loss of the season, so it definitely teaches you a lot. And also, we've played a lot of games where we have chased 200-plus, we have defended 200-plus. So this is just one of those games where things didn't go our way and we just have to push it aside. And I feel that in retrospect, many things could have happened, but I just want to stay positive going ahead and be optimistic in our approach. (on Harpreet Brar) Yes, absolutely. I felt that it was difficult to score off the spinners because it was holding a bit and it was offering them a little bit of turn as well. Not that much, but a little bit. But Harpreet Brar, yes, coming in his first game, showing that kind of personality where he just gives 25 runs off four balls [overs] and turning out to be the best bowler in the team. I think hats off to him, the way he kept his approach and his attitude throughout this game. (new venue - Dharamsala, what does that do?) Nothing, just win (smiles)."

PBKS vs RR, IPL 2026: Player of the Match

Donovan Ferreira won the player of the match after his remarkable knock powered Rajasthan Royals to 6-wicket win.

''I think it was a good innings, just keeping my mind nice and clear, like when I was kid playing the toy truck. Just kept a clear mind and played good cricket shots. I kept reminding myself that one good over is all we need, luckily it happened in Lockie's over. You need to win games at the top of the table, different guys have to put their hands up, you can't rely on the openers, Shubham came out and played a good knock,'' he said in post-match presentation.

PBKS vs RR, IPL 2026: Vaibhav reclaims Orange Cap

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi reclaims top spot of the Orange Cap race and now leads the chart with 400 runs in IPL in 8 matches. His quick 43 off just 16 deliveries gave Rajasthan Royals a flashing start.

PBKS vs RR, IPL 2026: Rajasthan's clinical chase

Rajasthan Royals pulled off a thrilling six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in IPL 2026, powered by a decisive unbeaten 77-run partnership between Donovan Ferreira and Shubham Dubey. Walking in under pressure with the required rate climbing, the duo turned the game on its head with fearless hitting, sealing Punjab’s first defeat of the season at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.

The chase began explosively with 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (43 off 16), who took on Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson with remarkable confidence, smashing boundaries and sixes at will. After his dismissal, Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 off 27) took charge, guiding Rajasthan to a strong 84/1 in the powerplay.
Punjab fought back through spin, as Yuzvendra Chahal (3/36) and Harpreet Brar applied pressure, removing Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel. At that stage, Rajasthan needed 100 off 52 balls, and the momentum had shifted.

However, Impact Substitute Shubham Dubey (31 off 12)* and Ferreira (52* off 26) had other plans. Dubey’s composure combined with Ferreira’s power-hitting dismantled the pace attack in the death overs. The chase was completed in style, with Ferreira finishing the match with a six.

PBKS vs RR, IPL 2026: Punjab's batting Maestro

Rajasthan Royals arrived at Punjab Kings’ home ground in New Chandigarh for Match 40 and opted to bowl first after winning the toss. Punjab Kings responded with a commanding 222/4 in 20 overs, powered by a blistering late assault from Marcus Stoinis (62 off 22)* and a solid knock from Prabhsimran Singh (59).

PBKS got off to a flying start with Priyansh Arya attacking aggressively in the powerplay before being dismissed by Jofra Archer. Prabhsimran then anchored the innings, maintaining momentum through the middle overs and registering his fourth fifty of the season. Rajasthan briefly clawed back through Yash Raj Punia, who picked up two key wickets, but Stoinis’ explosive finish—highlighted by a 24-run final over—took the game away from the visitors.

That's it from a cracker - And that wraps up a cracking game, where the Rajasthan Royals held their nerve to get over the line, while the Punjab Kings saw their winning run come to an end. Up next in the Indian Premier League 2026, the action shifts to the City of Dreams, with the Mumbai Indians set to face the high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on 29th April, Wednesday. It will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), and you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

The victorious skipper of the Rajasthan Royals - Riyan Parag says that as a team, they achieved what they had discussed before the tournament in this game. He adds that they could have restricted the opposition to a slightly lower total, but the batters made up for it. Parag mentions they could have bowled a few overs better, and the batters, too, could have improved in phases, but the aim was always to do well across the full 40 overs. He adds that while there may be concerns from the outside, the team has complete trust in its players. Riyan shares that the plan was to keep wickets in hand without falling too far behind the run rate. Tells that Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi made things easier for the rest of the batters. Admits that after the Powerplay, they fell a little behind, but did well to pick it up again. The RR skipper praises Shubham Dubey and Donovan Ferreira, saying their batting was commendable.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Donovan Ferreira wins the award for his match-winning knock of 52* off 26. He says it was a good innings, and he was just trying to keep his mind clear and felt like a boy playing with a toy truck. Ferreira says that he just played every ball on its merit, and he kept reminding himself that it was just 10-12 an over and they'll chase it, and even if the side dropped back a bit, he could score the runs towards the end. He credits the batting unit, saying that Jaiswal and Vaibhav set this up well, and the way Dubey played with him towards the end was a really pleasing aspect in this win.

Presentation Time...

Time to hear from the RR camp - Yashasvi Jaiswal hands over the Orange Cap to his opening partner, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, before speaking to the broadcasters. Jaiswal says he enjoys batting with Vaibhav and finds it amazing to watch the way he plays at the other end. He adds that they knew it was a high-scoring ground, and with more than 200 runs to chase,  if the ball was in his range, he went after it. Yashasvi mentions that there is a lot of trust within the group and that not everyone will perform on the same day. He adds that they have a very good team, are practising hard, and are enjoying each other's company.

The captain of the Punjab Kings - Shreyas Iyer says 222 on the board was a brilliant score, but the way the opponents batted was exceptional, and they, as a bowling unit, did not execute well. Iyer credits the partnerships for RR as a main reason for their victory. Shreyas believes that it was all about execution, and had they done that well, things could have been different, but it just wasn't to be. Mentions that one result doesn't change much, and they will be looking to stick to their plans and take a couple of days to rest and go back to the drawing board. Iyer ends by saying that this is their first defeat and such defeats teach a lot, and they just have to put this aside, and he will be looking to stay optimistic and not let this result affect them.

Inconsistent pacers undo Punjab's effort - Punjab Kings were on the back foot right from the Powerplay, with their pacers lacking consistency and leaking runs. Arshdeep did manage a wicket, but they were always playing catch-up. Harpreet Brar stood out with a tidy spell of 25 from his four overs, while Chahal’s 3/36 dragged things back and briefly put Punjab on top. However, the pacers failed to build on that momentum, continuing to dish out boundary balls for the Royals batters to feast on, and it ultimately cost them, with all the quicks going at over 12 an over.

Stoinis powers Punjab Kings to a big total - Earlier in the game, Punjab Kings put up a strong total on the back of a classy fifty from Prabhsimran Singh, with Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly adding handy cameos, but it was the late onslaught that stole the show as Stoinis went full ‘Hulk smash’, hammering 62* off just 22 to swing the momentum their way. Rajasthan Royals weren't quite rewarded for their efforts with the ball, with a few edges not sticking, though the spinners kept things tight. Jadeja was very economical, while Yash Punja picked up a couple. Archer and Burger got one each, but Burger was expensive, and Brijesh's tidy spell turned on its head in the final over, leaking 24 to hand Punjab the edge.

Dubey and Ferreira seal the deal - Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi leading the charge with a blistering 43 off just 16. Yashasvi Jaiswal carried the momentum forward after the wonderkid's departure, combining with Jurel to power the Royals to 84 in the Powerplay, the duo adding 54 together, with Jaiswal bringing up a fine half-century. However, the innings hit a brief wobble as both set batters fell in quick succession, and Riyan Parag once again couldn't convert his start. With the middle order under pressure, it felt like a familiar script, but the Impact Sub Shubham Dubey turned the tide with a fiery 31* off 12, before Donovan Ferreira, known as one of the best finishers in this format, sealed the deal with an unbeaten 52 off 26, guiding his side home with four balls to spare.

Royals stun table-toppers Punjab - Rajasthan Royals become the first team to hand a defeat to the league leaders, Punjab Kings, and they've done it in some style. The Kings will feel like they had this one in control, only to let it slip at the death with some ordinary bowling. Parag spoke about winning the small moments at the toss, and his players backed it up perfectly, getting back to winning ways, while handing Punjab a taste of their own medicine. As for the Kings, they'll hope this is just a minor blip in an otherwise impressive run of form.

Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, Excellent stroke but terrible running between the wickets as they take just one off this. Jansen comes over the stumps and bowls a yorker on off, Shubham Dubey opens his bat face and guides this through the backward point region. Dubey starts running but as the batters cross, Dubey assumes that this has raced to the fence but an excellent fielding effort from Marcus Stoinis chasing this from backward point keeps it inside the playing area. Dubey panics and starts running back towards the striker's end without even completing the first but is sent back to the right end by Donovan Ferreira to complete one.
