Rajasthan Royals came out all guns blazing in their chase against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur, registering their highest ever powerplay score in IPL history. The RR openers delivered a blistering start, racking up 87 runs in no time without any loss at the end of six overs.

Young 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, in partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, launched an early assault from the very first over. Vaibhav was particularly the major destructor, smashing a 17-ball fifty and becoming the youngest player to score a half-century in the IPL.

Now, on the back of this electrifying start from the Royals’ opening duo, let’s take a look at the top five highest powerplay scores by RR in the history of IPL.

5. 78/1 vs KKR in Kolkata, 2023

During IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals, chasing 150 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, got off to a flying start despite the early loss of Jos Buttler. Yashasvi Jaiswal with Sanju Samson at the other end added 78 runs inside the first six overs, putting the hosts on the backfoot. Their aggressive start marked the third-highest powerplay score for the Royals, setting the perfect platform for what went to be an easy chase with almost seven overs in hand.

4. 79/1 vs CSK in Guwahati, 2025

The fourth-highest powerplay score by Rajasthan Royals came earlier this season while batting first against Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Nitish Rana was the hero with the bat, attacking from ball one and giving his team a blazing start on a tricky surface. His explosive innings set the stage for the RR batters and that early momentum proved to be the difference at the end as the Royals clinched a narrow six-run victory in the match.

3. 81/1 vs CSK in Abu Dhabi, 2021

The third-highest powerplay score by Rajasthan Royals came against yet again the Chennai Super Kings during IPL 2021 in Abu Dhabi. Chasing 190, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Evin Lewis launched a brutal assault, taking Royals to their best powerplay score back then 81/1 at the end of the six overs. Jaiswal led the charge with a fiery 20-ball fifty, giving the perfect foundation for a dominant chase that ended with 15 balls to spare.

2. 85/1 vs SRH in Hyderabad, 2023

The second-highest powerplay score by Rajasthan Royals came in 2023 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Uppal. After being put in to bat, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal came out firing and powered RR to 85/1 in the powerplay. Their aggressive start laid the foundation for a formidable total, which proved more than enough as SRH crumbled without any fight in the second innings.

1. 87/0 vs GT in Jaipur, 2025

The home crowd got their money’s worth as they witnessed a six-hitting spectacle from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. In a must-win chase of 210 against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur, the fearless openers launched a relentless assault, adding an unbeaten 87 in the powerplay. This explosive stand now stands as the highest powerplay score for Rajasthan Royals in IPL history.
