Jaipur: IPLIn (IPL 2026) Vaibhav Sooryavasnhi scored the second century of his career. Little Vaibhav played a whirlwind 103-run innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home ground, Swai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. He completes his century with 36 balls. Vaibhav failed to open the account in the first meeting against Orange Army this season. But on this day, he created a storm with the bat. Vaibhav hit five boundaries and 12 sixes in his innings. Not only that, he is now joint top in the Orange Cap race with KL Rahul. Vaibhav currently has 357 runs in eight matches.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to field first. Captain Pat Cummins returned to the team. Rajasthan Royals played their previous match against Hyderabad as an away match. They had to lose that match. Vaibhav had to be caught out on the first ball that day. But this day, 15 years of glory did not make a mistake.

Vaibhav hit Praful Hinge for four sixes in the first over of Rajasthan’s batting. In the second over, Pat Cummins did not show any respect when he came into the attack. He was just throwing the ball into the gallery in the same manner. Jaiswal returned with just 10 runs off Ehsan Malinga but could not stop Vaibhav. He was leading the scoreboard of the team along with Dhruv Jalal. Malinga hit a boundary and an over boundary in the last over of the power play.

After the power play ends, the batters usually slow down a bit. There is a possibility of losing wickets, but the glory is of a different kind, he explained once again. Rajasthan’s opener completes his fifty off 14 balls. One less ball would have given Jaiswal the chance to score the fastest half-century in IPL history.

Even after completing his half-century, Vaibhav continued to move forward at the speed of a storm. Prior to this match, Vaibhav was number four in the race for the Orange Cap. But after this innings he is now back on top. KL Rahul also played an innings of 152 against Punjab today. He also came out on top in the Orange Cap race. Vaibhav is currently number one along with him.
