Rajasthan Royals’ captain Riyan Parag played a crucial innings, guiding his team to a competitive total of 225/6 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Despite a late surge from Mitchell Starc, Parag’s gritty performance stood out.
The match began with an unexpected turn as Yashasvi Jaiswal shone early by hitting Starc for a six but fell soon after. With early wickets falling, Parag partnered with Dhruv Jurel to stabilize the innings. Parag’s fifty off 32 balls and Jurel’s contributions helped Rajasthan reach 225/6.
Parag’s innings of 90 off 50 was the highlight, with a strategic move to promote Ravindra Jadeja paying off briefly. However, Starc’s late strikes dented Rajasthan’s momentum. Donovan Ferreira’s quickfire 47 off 14 balls provided a late boost, showcasing Rajasthan’s resilience and momentum shifts.
