However, with the rest of the Rajasthan batters and extras contributing only 125 off 83 balls, 228-6 proved not enough to secure a home victory, as Hyderabad cruised to a five-wicket victory.
There was also concern for the home side when Sooryavanshi appeared to pull up while fielding at the start of Hyderabad’s chase, and limped off the field for treatment.
England seamer Jofra Archer gave Rajasthan a strong start by dismissing Hyderabad’s Australia opener Travis Head in the first over of the chase.
But Abhishek Sharma (47) and Ishan Kishan (74) then took control to steer Hyderabad to the win, reaching their target with nine balls to spare – making it the fourth highest successful chase in IPL history.
With their fourth consecutive victory, they move level on 10 points with Rajasthan and Bengaluru, with the trio three points behind leaders Punjab Kings.
