Rajasthan Royals Maintain Unbeaten Streak, Dominate IPL 2026 Standings

Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals have maintained their unbeaten run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, securing the top spot in the points table. In a rain-affected match held in Guwahati on Tuesday, Rajasthan defeated Mumbai Indians to register their third consecutive victory.

With the match reduced to 11 overs per side, this competitive win has strengthened Rajasthan's position in the playoff race. As competition intensifies for a spot in the top four, Rajasthan players are also dominating the list of top performers this season.

The 'Orange Cap', awarded to the highest run-scorer, is currently held by Rajasthan's Yashasvi Jaiswal. In the match against Mumbai, Jaiswal played an explosive unbeaten innings of 77 runs off just 32 balls.

Having scored 170 runs in three innings this season, he has been dismissed only once. Jaiswal has taken the top spot, leading Delhi Capitals' Sameer Rizvi by 10 runs.

Delhi's Rizvi is in second place with 160 runs, having previously played a brilliant 90-run innings against Mumbai. Heinrich Klaasen (Sunrisers Hyderabad), Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rajasthan), and Rohit Sharma (Mumbai) are also among the top five in the Orange Cap race.

Rajasthan also dominates the bowling department. The 'Purple Cap', given to the highest wicket-taker, is held by leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. After taking 2 wickets for 25 runs in his 2 overs against Mumbai, Bishnoi's total wicket tally has reached 7. Previously, he took 4 wickets for 41 runs against Gujarat Titans. Bishnoi has taken a clear lead over other bowlers.

Following Bishnoi in the Purple Cap race, four bowlers are tied for second place with 5 wickets each. These include Vijaykumar Vyshak of Punjab Kings, Anshul Kamboj of Chennai Super Kings, Nandre Burger of Rajasthan Royals, and Jacob Duffy of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
