Phil Salt c Dhruv Jurel b Jofra Archer 0(1)
The covers are coming off and the official broadcasters reveal that the first ball will be bowled at 8.40 PM if the weather stays fine.
Growing up, Nandre Burger wanted to be Roger Federer. The best part of his childhood was spent watching countless videos of the Swiss, trying to absorb the grace and the geometry. Then a back injury ended the tennis. He flirted with squash. His father made him try cricket.
Up until that point, Burger’s association with the game was mostly his backyard wall. When he wasn’t volleying a tennis ball against it, he would draw stumps on the surface and try to copy Dale Steyn. He played cricket with his friends, but beyond that, he had no ambition to be a professional cricketer. He was fifteen when he enrolled at Wits University to study sports psychology. It was there that he met Neil Levenson.
Both teams have made one change with Josh Hazlewood coming in for Bengaluru while Tushar Deshpande sits out and Brijesh Sharma comes in for Rajasthan.
Rajasthan Royals are currently at the top of the table with three wins from three matches, while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru are placed third with two wins from as many games.
RCB: Suyash Sharma, Jacob Bethell, Rasikh Salam Dar, Kanishk Chouhan, Venkatesh Iyer
RR: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Ravi Singh, Shubham Dubey, Tushar Deshpande
Parag: We're going to be bowling. It was supposed to be a dry wicket, but it has been raining for the last couple of days and rained a bit today as well. So there's going to be a little moisture. We're trying to extract it, but seems like a really good wicket. Feels great. I think we've been very clinical before the start of the tournament. My message to the team was that we want to be a really pure team that plays really strategic cricket, really smart cricket. So hopefully we keep on assessing and adapting as we have been in the first three games and hopefully come up with really good points. Tushar takes a rest and Brijesh comes in. I think it's a fresh start. I told them when we won against Mumbai, as soon as the sun came up, it was past. And we need to forget about that. That's what Sanga said before we left the hotel as well. All the three games, that's in the past. Today we've got to perform. If we don't, we lose two points and we don't want to do that. I mean, as long as they keep on going, I'm happy. I'm happy with this batting. I'm happy with this whole. So yeah, hopefully they keep on going.
Patidar: This is our first away game. Thanks to everyone. I think you are making us feel that it's already our home ground. So we all love you. Unfortunately, Duffy misses out in this game. Josh in the place of Duffy. Duffy also bowled brilliantly in the last game. But everyone knows Josh is an experienced player, specialist. But I think his presence will definitely put us in a good frame of mind, I think.

And just as the toss gets over, the rain returns in Guwahati. It looks to be that sort of a day at Barsapara Stadium tonight.
Time for the toss and both captains are in the middle. The coin goes up and Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and opted to bowl first vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Meanwhile, live visuals show Josh Hazlewood marking his run up. Will he be back in the playing XI tonight? We have to wait and watch.
The toss will happen at 8 PM and the match is expected to start at 8.15 PM, according to the official broadcaster.
The covers are coming off now. That's good news. we'll probably be ready to start in about 40 minutes so there'll be a full game. Unless the rain returns. Fingers crossed.
It was the shot that liberated Royal Challengers Bengaluru. When Rajat Patidar strode to the middle in the eleventh over, none of their batsmen — including Phil Salt who had just been dismissed — were in complete command. The heavy outfield was holding up the ball. The hard lengths CSK had hit were creating doubt. The run-rate spiked to 10 one moment and dropped to 8 the next. Nobody seemed to know what a par score was. When Patidar left at the end of the innings, RCB had scored 157 off 56 deliveries — mind-boggling carnage, with Devdutt Padikkal’s and Tim David’s knocks sandwiched in between.
If we get a curtailed game, Rajasthan will have a distinct advantage against Bengaluru with the home team already familiar with the playing conditions. Against Mumbai, they took advantage of batting first and posted a massive 150/3 which MI couldn't chase down in 11 overs
There have been reports coming in that rain has come down in Guwahati. It started with a light drizzle that got heavier. The toss is officially delayed.
RCB in away matches in IPL 2025
En route to their maiden title win in the IPL 2025 season, RCB emerged as arguably the strongest travelling unit, winning nine out of their 10 matches away from home. They ended up winning the coin flip in seven games, of which they recorded six victories. In the three matches that they dropped the toss, RCB still ended up on the winning side in all of those games.
Tosses won away from home: 7/10
Matches Won after Toss win away: 6/7; Batting 1st: -; Batting 2nd: 6/7
Matches Won after Toss loss away: 3/3; Batting 1st: 3/3; Batting 2nd: 0/3
RR at home in IPL 2025
RR held a terrible toss record at home last in 2025, winning the coin flip only twice in seven games. In those two matches where they won the toss at home, they won once and lost once as well. After losing the toss at home a combined five times in Guwahati and Jaipur, the side could only win one game while losing the other four. The franchise won a total of four games in IPL 2025 and finished ninth with just 8 points.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL title defence is only two games old, but batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik already believes that Devdutt Padikkal is already making a case to play for India in all formats of the game.
In the two IPL 2026 games that RCB have played — and won — Padikkal has scored 50 off 29 against Chennai Super Kings and 61 off 26 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. This is his second stint with the franchise after he played early in his career for the franchise.
“Devdutt Padikkal coming into 2025 was a very different Devdutt Padikkal to the one that left RCB earlier. He has learned to handle everything that comes with playing in the IPL, and the way he has adapted his game has been very impressive. If he continues in this rich vein of form, I don’t think Team India can ignore him across formats. He is batting at a level which is a touch above a lot of other players,” Karthik was quoted as saying by RCB media.
There was no sign of a player worried about reputation or past records. It was pure, fearless hitting. All from a 15-year-old, who came up against Jasprit Bumrah for the first time. A ‘T20 baby’ coming up against a once in a generation bowler made for a fascinating build up in the lead up to Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians. And when the moment arrived, it was Sooryavanshi showing the best in the world what it takes to hit Bumrah. Not just skills, you need to be courageous against Bumrah.
In his brief career so far, Sooryavanshi had never faced Bumrah before Tuesday. It takes most batters a bit of time to settle in against him. To get an understanding of his action and his style of bowling. Some established names in world cricket are still figuring out the game.
Sooryavanshi, though, seems to be made of a different metal. He showed no signs of nerves. The first one was a length delivery that landed on the leg-stump channel. It had landed in Sooryavanshi’s slot. The reputation of the bowler didn’t matter. He swung it over long-on for a six as Bumrah walked back with a smile.
These may be early days of IPL 2026, and much of the attention around Rajasthan Royals (RR) has been on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. But on Tuesday, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal who showed why he remains just as important to their batting line-up. In a curtailed 11-over game against MI in Guwahati, Jaiswal came out with clear intent. There was no time to settle, and from the very first ball, he looked ready to take control. MI pacer Deepak Chahar was driven over mid-wicket for four. The next ball was dispatched over the same region for a six. A third boundary followed over point. In the space of a few deliveries, the left-hander had set the tone for the innings.

“Sooryavanshi is a destiny’s child,” Pathan said. “What he is doing at 15 in white-ball cricket, I don’t think we have ever seen anyone do this.” Pathan said the youngster had been specifically waiting for this moment. “This 15-year-old wonder kid says — I am waiting for Jasprit Bumrah. I got out to him last year. I will come this year and hit him. And he hit Bumrah on the very first ball.”

Even the seemingly unrelenting Guwahati rain on Tuesday would stop for IPL’s most-anticipated duel of the Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals game. And when Jasprit Bumrah’s first delivery landed in the slot on leg-and-middle, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat was already where it needed to be. The ball began its flight towards the long-on stands. The backlift — high, exaggerated, past the vertical — had once again entered the cricketing consciousness of everyone watching.
“Every time someone says his backlift is too high, he will get into problems, I chuckle,” says Zubin Bharucha, the coach who has mentored Sooryavanshi since he was 13. “He is smashing 155 kmph balls, hitting the likes of Bumrah and Jofra Archer. That’s his strength, that’s what makes him special”.

Like most of the surfaces in IPL Barsapara stadium, too, it is a good batting wicket; and both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has showed it with the way they have batted. Royal Challengers too have some brutal hitters in their batting line up who could make the most of the conditions.

The phenomenon of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is expanding with every passing game. In a major litmus test the other night, Sooryavanshi passed by a stunning mark, blasting pace legend Jasprit Bumrah for two sixes in the same over. Renowned coach Zubin Bharucha makes a stunning analysis of Sooryavanshi's otherworldly technique. With a flair that assumes Brian Lara's backlift, Tendulkar's head position and Rahul Dravid's wrists, Sooryavanshi combines traits that usually won't fit together.
