IPL 2026: 'We Backed Ourselves And Came Through,' Says Ferreira On RR's Stunning Chase
PCA New International Stadium: Rajasthan Royals (RR) match winner Donovan Ferreira emphasised the importance of self-belief and composure under pressure after his unbeaten knock of 52 runs guided the side to a thrilling six-wicket win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the PCA New International Stadium.
“It’s important that we back ourselves, and if we play our best game, we will come across. Luckily for me, Shubham Dubey came in and played an excellent knock over there, took a lot of pressure off me. And then, like I said, in the third or second last over, I really connected a few balls, which obviously took us over the line,” Ferreira said in a video released by IPL on X.
Chasing a daunting 223, the Rajasthan Royals found themselves under pressure midway through the innings, with the required rate climbing beyond 12 runs per over. However, Ferreira and Dubey stitched an unbeaten 77-run stand off just 32 balls, dismantling Punjab’s pace attack to complete the chase in 19.2 overs.
