Rajbhog is a rich and luxurious Indian mithai that is especially popular in regions like Bengal and Odisha. It is similar to rasgulla but larger in size and more indulgent, made from soft chhena (fresh paneer) balls that are stuffed with a mixture of dry fruits, saffron, and sometimes cardamom.
On a difficult wicket where Chennai Super Kings slipped to 62/6, Suryavanshi out batted them in a brutal hitting display at the Royals' adopted home ground in Guwahati. He scored his second half-century of his nascent IPL career, showcasing skill well beyond his age.
Chasing a modest 128, Suryavanshi's early fireworks ensured that there were no hiccups as Royals sealed a dominant victory. He put on a 75-run opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, scoring 52 off those in 17 balls.
