Rajasthan Royals (RR) continue their winning streak by beating Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 13th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in Guwahati. It was an incredible victory for Riyan Parag and Co., who have managed to perform brilliantly in their last three games. With the tournament just moving towards its peak, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal's attacking batting kept the crowd on their feet.

After the game, Jaiswal was heard speaking about Sooryavanshi and the way he has played in the past few games. The 15-year-old batter scored 39 off 14 balls, including one boundary and five sixes. He slammed Jasprit Bumrah for two massive sixes, which became the highlight of the game.

RR's opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal, played a cracking innings yesterday against the 5-time champions, speaking volumes about his confidence. For everyone who thought Jaiswal is only a one-format player, this innings was enough to shut down the trolls and criticism. Currently, the left-hand batter has taken the top spot in the Orange Cap list with 170 runs in three games. 

Jaiswal has batted at an average of 170 with two half-centuries under his name. Moreover, his strike rate is brilliant as well. It's because of his performance and the rest of the team's efforts that RR are currently unbeaten in the tournament. If they continue with their performance, their playoffs journey will not be much difficult.
