A nightmare start for Rajasthan Royals saw 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dismissed first ball for a golden duck as the side lost four wickets inside the first ten deliveries. The teenager, making his IPL breakthrough, was unable to get off the mark and the early damage immediately put the Royals on the back foot. With top-order batsmen unable to form a meaningful partnership, momentum swung firmly to the bowlers and pressure mounted rapidly. Quick dismissals combined with slow scoring left Rajasthan facing a difficult platform to rebuild from, forcing their middle order into a recovery role much earlier than desired.
