Rajasthan Royals Win 4th Straight IPL Match vs RCB

In Guwahati, India, the Rajasthan Royals secured their fourth consecutive victory in the Indian Premier League on April 11, 2026, defeating the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Chasing a target of 202, the Royals completed the task in 18 overs, propelled by a blistering unbeaten 78 off 26 balls from 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi and an anchor-like 81 not out off 43 from Dhruv Jurel.

The match began 70 minutes late due to persistent showers, but Bengaluru posted 201 for eight after electing to bat. Their innings started disastrously, with opener Phil Salt dismissed for a first-ball duck, caught behind off a sharp bouncer from Jofra Archer. Virat Kohli contributed 32 off 16 balls, featuring several elegant strokes, before Ravi Bishnoi's googly bowled him. The defending champions slumped early, losing five wickets for 57 runs in 14 overs, but captain Rajat Patidar orchestrated a recovery with 63 off 40 deliveries. Supported by a 41-run eighth-wicket stand with Venkatesh Iyer, Patidar's innings helped Bengaluru cross 200 despite two wickets each from Archer, Bishnoi, and Brijesh Sharma.
