RR vs RCB highlights, IPL 2026: Dhruv Jurel, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi power Rajasthan Royals to 6-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati
RR vs RCB highlights, IPL 2026: Blistering half-centuries from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel powered Rajasthan Royals to a commanding six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a high-scoring IPL 2026 clash at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday.
Batting first after being asked to take strike, RCB posted a strong 201 for 8 in 20 overs, riding on a fine captain’s knock from Rajat Patidar, who struck a fluent 63 off 40 balls with four boundaries and as many sixes. He held the innings together after early wickets, with useful contributions coming from Virat Kohli (32 off 16), Romario Shepherd (22 off 11) and Venkatesh Iyer (29* off 15), ensuring RCB crossed the 200-mark. However, RCB kept losing wickets at regular intervals, preventing them from fully capitalising in the death overs.
In reply, Rajasthan Royals came out with intent and aggression. The chase was blown wide open by Sooryavanshi, who produced a breathtaking 78 off just 26 balls, smashing eight fours and seven sixes. His assault left the RCB attack helpless as he tore into both pace and spin, setting the tone for a dominant chase.
After the early dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal (13), Sooryavanshi and Jurel stitched a match-defining 108-run stand off just 37 balls for the second wicket. Even the introduction of spin brought little relief as Krunal Pandya briefly fought back with two quick wickets, removing Sooryavanshi and Shimron Hetmyer in succession.
However, the Royals remained unfazed. Jurel anchored the chase beautifully, combining composure with clean hitting to remain unbeaten on 81 off 43 balls. He then found strong support from Ravindra Jadeja (24*), with the pair adding 68 runs to finish the game with two overs to spare.
For RCB, Josh Hazlewood (2/44), Krunal Pandya (2/30) and Brijesh Sharma (2/37) were among the wickets, but they lacked control in the powerplay where Sooryavanshi’s assault had already sealed the game’s momentum.
Rajasthan Royals’ emphatic chase of 202 underlined their batting depth and fearless approach, while RCB were left to reflect on missed opportunities with the ball despite a strong first-innings total

RR vs RCB Live Score: Hello and welcome!
Hello and welcome to the Live coverage of IPL 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Riding on explosive starts from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Rajasthan Royals will aim to continue their dominance, while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will rely on a resurgent Devdutt Padikkal as the two in-form sides face off in an IPL clash on Friday.
RCB boast a settled top order led by the talismanic Virat Kohli, who has shown no signs of rust despite stepping away from T20 internationals in 2024. Phil Salt also showcased his explosive range in the previous game.
Batting at No. 3, Padikkal has seamlessly carried his domestic form into the IPL, marking a return to his fluent best with an aggressive yet composed approach.
He made an instant impression in his debut IPL season with 473 runs for RCB, establishing himself as a stylish batter. However, subsequent stints with Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants didn’t bring the same success.
His return to Bengaluru last season, as he admitted, proved to be a turning point, playing a key role in the franchise finally clinching their maiden title.
The left-hander has started this season in similar fashion, smashing back-to-back fifties — a 29-ball 50 against Chennai Super Kings and a 26-ball 61 against Sunrisers Hyderabad — and will look to extend his rich vein of form.
