Samantray slammed his maiden IPL fifty and scored 55 of 46 balls before succumbing to James Faulkner who finished with an impressive figure of 5/16, his second five-wicket haul against the Royals in the tournament.
After opting to bat, Hyderabad lost Parthiv Patel, Shikhar Dhawan and Cameron White with just 5 runs on board.
Faulkner dismissed openers Parthiv Patel and Shikhar Dhawan in the second over.
Faulkner bowled out Patel (2) on the first delivery of the second over and then got Dhawan (1) caught at slip by Ajinkya Rahane to reduce Hyderabad to 4/2.
Shane Watson then escalated Hyderabad's misery by scalping skipper White before he could get off the mark.
Hanuma Vihari was the fourth man to fall at the score of 49 in the 11th over. Vihari scored 19 off 28 balls.
Samantray and Darren Sammy then rescued the side from early setback and guided the side past 100 in 16 overs.
Sammy (23) became Faulkner's third victim after a 56-run stand for the fifth wicket.
Samantray reached his half-ton but couldn't fire in the death over and was caught by Kevon Cooper while trying to pull Faulkner.
Dale Steyn was Faulkner's fifth dismissal.
