So far, David Warner has held the record for most runs in the powerplay, having scored 467 runs in the powerplay in the 2016 edition.ย

When it comes to the match, Rajasthan lost two early wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel. However, Sooryavanshi didnโt change his approach and kept playing an attacking brand of cricket. The southpaw targeted Mohammed Siraj in the third over of the match and kept up with the tempo.ย
