Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi unleashed a blistering display of power-hitting to propel Rajasthan Royals to victory in their game against the Mumbai Indians in Guwahati. Reduced to 11 overs, the RR openers put on a six-hitting show, effectively batting the 5-time champions out of the contest to go top of the IPL 2026 standings.

The left-handed duo tore the Mumbai attack apart including Jasprit Bumrah in a stunning demolition job. Jaiswal (77 not out off 32 balls) and Sooryavanshi (39 off 14) hit a flurry of boundaries, including nine sixes combined, in an opening partnership of 80 runs in just five overs.

Jaiswal-Sooryavanshi set the tone

Jaiswal set the tone with a 22-run over off Deepak Chahar to start off the innings. However, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had the world in awe after he struck twin sixes off Jasprit Bumrah in the second over.
