Donovan Ferreira scored 47 runs off 14 balls against the Delhi Capitals on May 1, 2026, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. His performance matched a long-standing record for the Rajasthan Royals.

Key statistics:

• Ferreira hit six sixes, equaling the record for most by a Rajasthan Royals batter coming in at No. 6 or lower.
• The previous record was held by Yusuf Pathan, who scored 62 not out off 30 balls in 2009.
• Rajasthan Royals posted a total of 225 for 6 in their innings.
• Riyan Parag contributed significantly with 90 runs off 50 balls.

Ferreira returned to the Rajasthan Royals after being traded from the Delhi Capitals before the start of IPL 2026. His explosive innings helped the team score 78 runs in the last five overs.

The match saw a partnership of 53 runs between Riyan Parag and Ravindra Jadeja. However, Rajasthan Royals lost their first two wickets for just 12 runs.

The Delhi Capitals required 226 runs to win, which would be their highest successful chase in IPL history. Ferreira’s performance was pivotal in setting up this challenging target.

In a previous match against Delhi Capitals, Ferreira had scored an impressive 74 runs off just 14 balls, showcasing his ability as a powerful finisher.

As the IPL season progresses, teams will closely analyze Ferreira’s impact. His recent form indicates he could be a key player for the Rajasthan Royals moving forward.
