Sooryavanshi hit a 15-ball half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2026.

At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, Sooryavanshi lit the home ground's atmosphere with yet another magnificent knock, which will be remembered for a long time. He started his innings by scoring four boundaries in an over against SRH bowler Praful Hinge, the same player who dismissed the batter in their previous encounter for a duck.
