RR moved to fourth spot with this win over LSG and remain alive in the playoffs race.
LSG started strong with Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis adding 109 runs in 8.2 overs; Inglis fell for 60 runs with 7 fours and 3 sixes. Marsh continued, while Nicholas Pooran fell for 18 runs. However, Rishabh Pant hit some lusty blows in his 23-ball 35.
But the LSG innings was Mitchell Marsh's show, as he slammed 96 in 57 balls with 11 fours and 5 sixes before getting run out in the final over. LSG finished with 220/5 in 20 overs.
RR knew that they had to chase this total down to stay in the race for the playoffs, and Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi went after the bowling from ball one. Jaiswal fell for 43 in 23 balls with 8 fours and 1 six, while Sooryavanshi was sending the ball into the crowd with ridiculous ease at the other end.
RR won the game by 7 wickets in the final over and moved to the 4th spot in the IPL 2026 points table with 14 points from 13 games.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was the toast of the RR innings, and here are the glimpses of some of the biggest sixes in his stupendous knock.
The cricket fraternity was all praises of RR’s dominating performance and also lauded Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his brilliant knock.
