Virat Kohli had provided a quick start with 32 off 16 balls but fell trying to accelerate.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>RR\u2019s bowlers, led by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/jofra-archer\/64254\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Jofra Archer<\/a> and Ravi Bishnoi, triggered a middle-order collapse, reducing RCB to 94\/6 at one stage. Bishnoi\u2019s variations proved crucial, while Brijesh Sharma impressed with key breakthroughs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>However, a late surge from Impact Sub Venkatesh Iyer, who smashed 29 off 15 balls including 21 runs in the final over, pushed RCB past the 200-run mark. Despite the late flourish, the total appeared slightly below par on a surface offering bounce but also value for shots.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>In response, RR\u2019s fearless approach in the Powerplay, spearheaded by Sooryavanshi, turned the game decisively in their favour, scripting a memorable night and showcasing the arrival of a new batting star in the IPL.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/ipl-2026-vaibhav-sooryavanshi-blitz-scripts-history-powers-rajasthan-royals-to-\/articleshow\/130177455.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (BCCI Photo) NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals produced a stunning batting display as young&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1905,26425,26426,4412,17819,3978,3167,18214,2870,3161],"class_list":["post-10735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-cricket-news","tag-highest-powerplay-totals","tag-impact-player-venkatesh-iyer","tag-ipl-2026","tag-ipl-history","tag-jofra-archer","tag-rajasthan-royals","tag-rajat-patidar","tag-royal-challengers-bengaluru","tag-vaibhav-sooryavanshi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
