IPL 2026 Points Table: Rajasthan Royals, with a seven-wicket win over the Lucknow Super Giants, climbed to fourth place in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 standings. With this win, RR now have 14 points and have increased their chances of making the IPL 2026 playoffs. Thanks to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s incredible knock of 93 runs, the Royals registered a crucial win, boosting their chances of making it to the playoffs. The young 15-year-old was duly supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel during his knock. Earlier in the game, LSG, powered by Mitchell Marsh’s 96, scored 220 runs in the first innings. However, RR, being led by Jaiswal in the absence of Riyan Parag, chased down the target with five balls to spare.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru continue to top the IPL 2026 points table. The defending champions were the first team to qualify for the playoffs, having won nine of their 13 games. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, with eight wins each, are ranked second and third, respectively, on the table.
Rajasthan Royals won the RR vs LSG clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The hosts chased down a target of 221 thanks to an incredible knock from 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Sooryavanshi became the first teenager to score 500 runs in an IPL season. He also went past the record for most sixes by a Rajasthan Royals batter in a season, previously held by Jos Buttler. Sooryavanshi, with 53 sixes now, has the second most sixes in a season only behind Chris Gayle’s 59.
