Sooryavanshi, 15, displayed his rare talent in full flight, racing to a 15-ball fifty, including a spectacular six over point off New Zealand pacer Matt Henry and a couple of towering sixes off spinner Noor Ahmad.

His innings helped the Royals reach 74 in the powerplay, effectively sealing the game.Opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal (38* off 36) played a measured role, letting Sooryavanshi dominate, while Parag (14* off 11) joined later to finish the chase in 12.1 overs with ease.CSK\u2019s marquee players struggled. Sanju Samson, fresh from India\u2019s T20 World Cup triumph, was trapped by Nandre Burger trying to go over mid-wicket, while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad fell attempting a lofted stroke off Jofra Archer. Jamie Overton provided some resistance with 43 off 36 but could not stem the collapse.The Royals\u2019 pace attack, led by Nandre Burger and Archer, complemented Jadeja\u2019s spin perfectly. Brijesh Sharma claimed the wicket of debutant Kartik Sharma, while Archer, Burger, and Jadeja finished with two wickets apiece.Both teams, who had swapped stars Jadeja and Samson ahead of the season, began their campaigns in contrasting fashion\u2014Royals with a statement win, CSK with much to rethink after a difficult start.<\/div>\n
