Donovan Ferreira smashes three giant sixes off Kuldeep Yadav after 17 overs

Batting first at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the Rajasthan Royals suffered an early collapse as openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi (4) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) departed cheaply. The early wickets put Rajasthan under pressure, but a composed partnership between Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag steadied the innings. The duo absorbed the pressure effectively and rebuilt the foundation, ensuring the Royals remained on course for a competitive total.

The innings gathered momentum in the latter stages, especially after a wicket fell at 16.2 overs, paving the way for Donovan Ferreira to unleash his power-hitting. The South African batter played a sensational cameo, remaining unbeaten on 47 off just 14 deliveries. His aggressive approach in the death overs lifted Rajasthan Royals to an imposing 225 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs.

The highlight of the innings came in the 18th over when Kuldeep Yadav returned to bowl for the Delhi Capitals, with Rajasthan placed at 193 for 5. The over began with singles off the first two deliveries, but Ferreira quickly shifted gears. He dispatched a wrong’un over cover for a stunning six, followed it up with a powerful strike over long-off, and then finished the over with a towering hit over midwicket. The sequence of three consecutive sixes not only electrified the crowd but also firmly tilted the momentum in Rajasthan’s favour, underlining Ferreira’s impact as a finisher.
