Rajasthan Royals have scored 243 runs in the eliminator match of IPL 2026. This is the second highest score in the history of IPL playoffs. Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers kept getting beaten badly in the storm of glory. Vaibhav scored 93 runs in 29 balls and missed scoring the fastest century in history. Usually Pat Cummins dominates the batsmen, but in the eliminator match he gave away 64 runs in 4 overs.

As long as Vaibhav Suryavanshi was at the crease, the Rajasthan team was in trouble. Rajasthan had scored 125 runs in the first 8 overs, but in the next 12 overs the Rajasthan team scored 118 runs. Vaibhav hit 5 fours and 12 sixes in his innings of 97 runs.

Second highest score of IPL playoff

A day earlier in the qualifiers, Royal Challengers Bangalore had scored 254 runs against Gujarat Titans. That is the biggest score in playoff history. Whereas Rajasthan Royals has scored 243 runs, which is the second highest score in playoff history. Of these, 97 runs came only from Vaibhav’s bat. The orange cap of IPL 2026 has now adorned the head of Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers were beaten so much that captain Pat Cummins bowled the most expensive spell of his IPL career. Cummins bowled only 3 dot balls in 4 overs and gave away 64 runs. The unwanted record of bowling the most expensive spell while playing for Hyderabad is in the name of Mohammed Shami.
