IPL 2026: The Way Vaibhav Batted Made All The Difference, Says RCB Captain Patidar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar admitted that despite posting a 200-plus total, his side was outplayed by Rajasthan Royals explosive batting, particularly singling out Vaibhav Sooryavanshis impact as the difference-maker. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi led a powerful attack to kick off Rajasthan Royals chase, easily dismantling Royal Challengers Bengalurus bowling with bold shots as hosts continue to be on top with a six-wicket win over RCB. The teenager played with stunning audacity, his clean, powerful swings sending the ball racing to the fence at will, with 15 of his 26 deliveries fetching boundaries. By the time he miscued one off Krunal Pandya, the damage had already been done, putting Rajasthan Royals firmly in control. Though they endured a brief wobble, slipping from 129/1 to 134/4, the foundation laid by Suryavanshi ensured the chase remained well within reach. Everyone would have loved seeing Vaibhav bat. The way Vaibhav and Yashasvi bat, it feels like the wicket isn't doing much. The way we started in the powerplay, we lost wickets, getting to 200+ was a positive sign for us. In the same way, their batters, especially Vaibhav, made the difference. I think the way we are batting in the last matches was brilliant. There are a lot of learnings from this game, said Patidar after the match. Royal Challengers Bengaluru had a dramatic start as Jofra Archer dismissed Phil Salt with a sharp bouncer on the very first ball. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal countered well, putting together a quick 45-run partnership in just 17 balls, but Rajasthan responded strongly. Archer removed Padikkal, while Ravi Bishnoi changed the game with two quick wickets, bowling Kohli and getting Krunal Pandya out. Sharp fielding from Shimron Hetmyer made things worse for RCB. Jitesh Sharma also got out shortly after, leaving RCB struggling at 76/5 in 8.4 overs. Romario Shepherd offered a brief counterattack, scoring a rapid 22 before being dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja. Debutant Venkatesh Iyer then partnered with Rajat Patidar, shifting the momentum. Patidar went from a cautious start to a fast half-century, marked by several sixes. However, he ultimately fell to Sandeep Sharma. A late effort from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Iyer (29 off 15) helped RCB reach a good total of 201/8 in their 20-over quota.

IPL 2026: Sooryavanshi The Hero Again As RR Thrash RCB By Six Wickets
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: An opening blitz of 78 off 26 balls by batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and a steady knock of 81 off 43 deliveries by wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel helped Rajasthan Royals beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets in Match 16 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. Sooryavanshi led a powerful assault on the bowling to kick off Rajasthan Royals chase, easily dismantling RCBs bowling with bold shots. He started strongly against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, driving a near yorker for four and ending the over with a high shot over cover-point. There was no slowing down as he attacked Hazlewood, hitting a series of boundaries that showed his goal to target anything in his range. Even when RCB changed their lengths, Sooryavanshi continued to find ways to score, hitting with impressive skill. At the other end of the wicket, Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) offered some support before edging a cross-seam delivery, but it hardly affected RRs momentum. Sooryavanshi quickly reached a remarkable 15-ball half-century, matching his previous record. He got there with back-to-back sixesone a powerful hit over long-on and the other a top-edge pull that went over the boundary. His ability to dominate both fast and bouncing deliveries left RCB searching for answers. The onslaught continued as Dhruv Jurel joined in, hitting boundaries with ease and keeping up the pressure. RR raced to a record 97/1 in the Power-play, their best in IPL history, with Abhinandan Singhs overs turning out to be particularly costly. They maintained this momentum into the middle overs, crossing 100 in just 6.2 overs, the fastest in their IPL history. Krunl Pandya ended Sooryavanshis stay with a pace-up delivery as the young left-handed batter handed it straight to Virat Kohli in deep mid-wicket after playing a handy knock of 78 off 26 deliveries. Shimron Hetmyer followed Sooryavanshi on the very next delivery, handing an easy catch to Hazlewood at short third man. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) had a dramatic start as Jofra Archer dismissed Phil Salt with a sharp bouncer on the very first ball.

However, he ultimately fell to Sandeep Sharma. A late effort from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Iyer (29 off 15) helped RCB reach a good total of 201/8 in their 20-over quota. RCB made a short comeback in the middle overs. They strung together a series of tight deliveries that included wickets and dot balls, which slowed down the Rajasthan Royals' momentum and built pressure. Krunal Pandya led the effort well by preventing boundaries and reducing the asking rate to about seven runs per over. He even ended a 24-ball boundary drought before Ravindra Jadeja broke the spell with a lucky inside edge to fine leg. However, Dhruv Jurel stayed calm during the slowdown. He anchored the chase with a well-timed knock and reached his half-century in 25 balls. With wickets in hand and Jurel doing well, RR remained on track despite RCB's determined fightback. Jurel finished unbeaten on a superb 81 off 43 balls - his highest score in T20s -- as Rajasthan Royals chased down 202 with two overs to spare. Despite a brief wobble in the middle overs, Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja steadied the innings with a composed 68-run stand off 50 balls, ensuring there were no late alarms as RR sealed a comfortable win.

IPL 2026: Patidar's Fighting 63 Propels RCB To 201/8 Vs RR In Guwahati
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Skipper Rajat Patidar's fighting 63 off 40 deliveries and a late blitz of 29 off 15 by Venkatesh Iyer propelled defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to 201/8 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. Royal Challengers Bengalurus innings started dramatically as Jofra Archer sent down a vicious bouncer to dismiss Phil Salt on the very first ball. It was an eventful opening over. Archer troubled Virat Kohli with steep bounce, while Devdutt Padikkal found early boundaries, including a streaky edge and a crisp cut. Kohli responded in his usual style, whipping and driving with authority to relieve the early pressure. He took on Sandeep Sharma with a couple of strong boundaries. Padikkal supported him well, and the two put together a quick 45-run stand in just 17 deliveries for the second wicket. This briefly put RCB ahead, despite Nandre Burgers probing deliveries that repeatedly beat Kohli with seam and swing. However, the momentum changed quickly. Archer returned to break the partnership, as Padikkal (14) miscued a flick to long leg, where Shimron Hetmyer made a sharp catch. The turning point came soon after when Ravi Bishnoi delivered a cleverly disguised googly to outsmart Kohli, who was bowled for a quick 32 off 16. Bishnoi struck again in his next over, removing Krunal Pandya (1), who hit a catch to long-off, where Hetmyer made another fantastic catch. Rajasthan Royals tightened their hold when Brijesh Sharma returned with a wicket, trapping Jitesh Sharma (5) in front. From an early promising position, RCB fell to 76/5 in 8.4 overs, undone by Archer's fiery spell and Bishnois crucial double strike, leaving them in urgent need of a steady partnership. Romario Shepherd sparked RCBs innings briefly. He hit the first six in the 12th over, cleanly lofting Bishnoi over long-off on the first ball he faced. It showed his intent in what was otherwise a struggling innings. However, just as he started to pose a threat, Shepherds time ended when he top-edged a slog off Ravindra Jadeja to short fine leg. He scored 22 off 11 balls while wickets fell around him. Venkatesh Iyer came into a tough situation on his RCB debut, replacing Devdutt Padikkal as an Impact substitute. Initially, RCB planned to bring in Suyash Sharma, but the batting crisis led to a change. Iyer walked in with his Madhya Pradesh teammate Rajat Patidar and quickly changed the pace of the game. Patiday started cautiously with 20 off 22; he exploded to a brilliant half-century, reaching 50 off just 35 balls within three overs. The turnaround featured powerful shots, particularly against Nandre Burger in the 15th over. A smooth swing sent one ball sailing over long-off, and a quick pull off a short ball flew over deep square leg. He followed it with back-to-back sixes against Bishnoi but was eventually removed by experienced Sandeep Sharma with a slower delivery on the pads. Patidar, looking to go big, launched it high only to get caught on deep mid-wicket. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Iyer added some quick runs, including two boundaries and as many maximums as RCB reached in 20 overs. For the Royals, Archer, Bishnoi, and Brijesh snared two wickets each as Sandeep Sharma and Jadeja took a wicket apiece.

IPL 2026: RCB Bring In Hazlewood For Duffy As RR Elect To Bowl In Guwahati
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and elected to bowl against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 16 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. Rajasthan Royals made a change to their XI with Brijesh Sharma coming in for Tushar Deshpande, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru bolstered their pace attack by bringing back Josh Hazlewood in place of Jacob Duffy, adding experience and control to their bowling lineup. Riyan Parag said the pitch was expected to be dry, but rain could leave early moisture, while stressing that his side has been clinical and focused on playing strategic cricket as planned before the tournament. Parag also noted he is content having less to do personally as long as the openers continue their strong form at the top. We are going to be bowling first. It was supposed to be a dry wicket, but it has been raining, and there will be some moisture on this pitch. We would like to extract the most from the pitch, said RR captain Parag. Rajat Patidar said the strong crowd support is making it feel like a home game for his side, while confirming that Duffy has missed out with Josh Hazlewood coming into the lineup, describing him as an experienced addition. However, just as he spoke, rain returned to interrupt proceedings, halting momentum after it seemed the weather had cleared. This is the first away game. Thanks to everyone. You are making us feel that it is a home crowd. We all love you. Unfortunately, Duffy misses out on this game. Josh Hazlewood is in the team in place of Duffy. Duffy also bowled brilliantly in the last two games. We know Josh is an experienced player. His presence will definitely put us in a good frame of mind, said RCB captain Patidar.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) was delayed due to rain at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. The weather forecast was better before the start of the game, but the rain, which started with a slight drizzle, intensified as on-field umpires had to call for the covers. Initially, the covers were only placed around the square boundaries, which were later expanded to cover the whole ground. The good news for the fans is that the stadium has a good drainage system, and it will hardly take half an hour to 45 minutes to start the game after the rain stops. Rajasthan Royals have surged to the top of the standings after winning all three of their matches so far, with victories over Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head into the contest on the back of consecutive wins against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai. Both sides boast formidable batting units, though Rajasthan appear slightly more settled with the ball under the leadership of Riyan Parag.
