In The 43 Match of IPL 2026 at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium turned into an absolute run-fest, with the Rajasthan Royals posting a massive total of 225/6 after batting first.
However, the manner in which the Delhi Capitals batted in this high-scoring encounter turned the match into a one-sided affair.
Delhi chased down the target, reaching 226/3 in just 19.1 overs to claim the victory.
Parag and Ferreira Propel Rajasthan to a Massive Total

His batting exuded confidence, as he played shots to all corners of the ground.
Following his departure, Donovan Ferreira completely shifted the momentum of the match. By smashing 47 runs off just 14 balls, he piled immense pressure on the Delhi bowlers.
In the middle order, Dhruv Jurel also made a valuable contribution of 42 runs.
