Sooryavanshi's 97 Powers Rajasthan Royals Past Hyderabad — Ipl Stats

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 97 off 29 balls drove Rajasthan Royals to a 47-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL eliminator, and the 15-year-old did it under ipl stats pressure in New Chandigarh. Rajasthan's 243-8 ended Sunrisers' season and sent the Royals on to Qualifier 2.

Sooryavanshi's 29-ball surge

Sooryavanshi struck 12 sixes and five fours in a knock that set the tone from the start. He reached 50 off 16 balls and kept the scoring moving even after being one hit away from the fastest-ever IPL hundred when he was caught at third man in the eighth over.

His next 12 balls brought 47 runs, a burst that kept Rajasthan far ahead of the chase. Praful Hinge took the strike damage, with Sooryavanshi hitting him for three sixes and two fours.

Rajasthan Royals' 243-8

Dhruv Jurel added 50 off 21 balls, while Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 29 as Rajasthan raced to 80-0 in the powerplay and reached 100 in 44 balls. That total of 243-8 in 20 overs stood as the second-highest in IPL knockouts, behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru's 254-5 against Gujarat Titans one day earlier.

Sooryavanshi's innings also moved him to 680 runs in 15 innings, passing Jaiswal's previous mark of 626 for the most IPL runs by an uncapped batter. It was the sort of scoreline that left Sunrisers with no room to recover once the chase began.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's 196

Jofra Archer took 3-58 in four overs and Nandre Burger finished with 2-26 as Sunrisers were bowled out for 196 in 19.2 overs. The margin was 47 runs, and the knockout defeat ended Hyderabad's tournament in one of the season's biggest totals.

Rajasthan were set to play Gujarat in Qualifier 2 at the same venue, with the winner scheduled to face Bengaluru in the final at Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Royals now carry a massive total and a 15-year-old batter who has already turned one knockout into a record-setting night.
