In response, Rajasthan Royals chased down the target of 202 runs comfortably, reaching 202 for 4 in just 18 overs. The highlight of the chase was a blistering innings from young Suryavanshi, who scored 78 runs off just 26 balls, including eight boundaries and seven sixes. Wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel remained unbeaten on 81 runs, playing a crucial role in stabilizing and finishing the innings. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 21, putting Rajasthan under slight pressure. However, Suryavanshi and Jurel turned the match decisively in Rajasthan’s favor with a rapid partnership.
