RR dominate CSK as 15-year-old Sooryavanshi’s 15-ball fifty seals one-sided chase

In a one-sided Indian Premier League 2026 clash, Rajasthan Royals delivered a commanding performance to outplay Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. The Royals chased down a modest target of 128 with ease, powered by a sensational knock from teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who stole the spotlight with a blistering half-century.

Earlier in the match, Rajasthan’s bowlers set the tone by dismantling Chennai’s batting lineup for just 127 in 19.4 overs. A disciplined bowling effort, led by Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, ensured CSK never built momentum, with wickets falling at regular intervals. The five-time champions struggled throughout the innings, failing to post a competitive total on a batting-friendly surface.The chase turned into a showcase of fearless batting as 15-year-old Sooryavanshi smashed a stunning 15-ball half-century, one of the fastest in the tournament. Rajasthan raced to 91/1 within eight overs, virtually sealing the contest early. Contributions from Yashasvi Jaiswal and the middle order ensured there were no late hiccups as the Royals cruised toward victory.

The match also carried emotional undertones, with players like Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja facing their former teams after a high-profile trade. However, it was Rajasthan’s young talent that defined the game, underlining their intent for the season. For Chennai, the heavy defeat raises early concerns, especially with key absences and a fragile batting display exposed in their opening outing.
