Guwahati just witnessed a chase for the ages as Rajasthan Royals orchestrated a stunning victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026, proving once again that when it comes to chasing big totals, the Royals know a thing or two about crossing the finish line. In a match that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, RR hunted down a formidable 201 with six wickets and plenty of overs to spare.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, after being put in to bat by a confident Rajasthan Royals outfit, posted a commanding 201/8, with their batters unleashing a barrage of boundaries right from the word go, setting a daunting target for the home side. However, the Barsapara Cricket Stadium has often been a fortress for the Royals, and their chase was a masterclass in controlled aggression. Despite losing a couple of early wickets, their middle order, spearheaded by a blistering knock from their star all-rounder, refused to buckle, finding the fence with remarkable regularity and maintaining a healthy run rate throughout the innings, particularly in the death overs, much to the delight of the home crowd and all those tuning in to Watch IPL 2026.
