IPL Live Score: What they said at toss
“We are going to have a bowl first. The wicket looks good, try and see what we have to chase down. I feel really fresh, it has been while, I have good preparation, body feels well. He’s (Kishan) fantastic, four wins in the first 7 games, he played that SRH game – bold, fearless style of cricket. We know the pitch really well in Hyderabad. This is the first game here for both teams, it will be a challenge. I come in for Madushanka. Hinge comes in for Harsh,” Cummins said at the toss.
Meanwhile, RR skipper Riyan Parag said, “We were looking to do that (bowling first) as well. But last couple of seasons we have not done well chasing, no problems batting first. We know the wicket really well. We had our camp here. There might be dew but it won’t be too much. Last year we fell short by a couple of overs, just want to put a collective 40 overs. The middle order has to step up and the others.”
Impact sub options for SRH – Ravichandran Smaran, Travis Head, Liam Livingstone, Harsh Dubey and Harshal Patel.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI) – Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (WK), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins (C) (In for Dilshan Madushanka), Shivang Kumar, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga and Praful Hinge (In for Harsh Dubey).
Impact sub options for RR – Ravi Bishnoi, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Ravi Singh, Sandeep Sharma and Shubham Dubey.

Important to play well across all 40 overs – The captain of the Rajasthan Royals, Riyan Parag says they would have bowled first as well, but given their record while chasing, they do not mind batting first. He adds that the side has played a lot of cricket here and understands the conditions well. Riyan mentions there could be a bit of dew later on, but does not expect it to play a major role. He stresses the need to be clinical, noting that last year they fell short despite playing good cricket for large phases, and that a couple of overs here and there can make all the difference in the IPL. Parag also highlights the importance of the middle order stepping up, including himself, and confirms that they are going in with a combination of four pacers and one spinner.
Looking forward to seeing how the body holds up – The skipper of the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Pat Cummins says that the wicket looks good and they want to know what they are going to chase. Adds that he feels fresh, his body feels good, and although he has not played competitive cricket for a while, he has had a couple of good sessions and wants to see how it goes. Cummins mentions that Kishan has done a fantastic job as a skipper, winning four of the seven games and playing a good, aggressive brand of cricket. Says that the challenge playing away from home is to sense what a good score will be, but this is the first game at this venue this season, so it will be challenging for both sides. Informs that he has replaced Dilshan Madushanka, and Praful Hinge comes in for Harsh Dubey.
RR vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2026: Toss update
Pat Cummins returns as SRH opt to bowl first in Jaipur vs RR
RR vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2026: Jofra Archer vs Abhishek key battle shaping match
One of the key matchups in this game is between Jofra Archer and Abhishek Sharma. Archer has struggled in this head-to-head contest, having dismissed Abhishek only once in seven innings.
Abhishek has scored 62 runs off 35 balls against Archer, maintaining a strike rate of 177.14.
At the same time, Abhishek is yet to face Nandre Burger.
For RR, Archer remains a key strike bowler with his ability to take wickets early. For SRH, Abhishek is a major attacking option at the top.
IPL Live Score: Riyan Parag under pressure as captain
Riyan Parag’s form has become one of the key talking points for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026. As captain, he is averaging 13.50 in seven matches, which has raised concerns about his contribution in the middle order.
Parag has also acknowledged that “he’s going through a tough phase”, which reflects his current form situation. While RR are still placed comfortably in the top four, his lack of runs has meant that the team has often depended heavily on their top order.
This situation creates a challenge in the dressing room as well, because leadership and performance often go together in high-pressure tournaments like the IPL. When the captain is struggling, it naturally draws attention.
The issue has not yet derailed RR’s campaign, but it has left gaps in the batting order when early wickets fall. In such cases, the team has not always been able to rebuild effectively.
Against SRH, Parag’s role becomes even more important, especially if RR lose early wickets. His ability to hold the innings together could influence the outcome of the match.
RR vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2026: RR middle-order inconsistency remains concern
Rajasthan Royals’ biggest issue this season has been the lack of stability in their middle order. While the top three have performed consistently, the batting unit has not been able to maintain momentum once early wickets fall.
In several matches, RR have either failed to convert strong starts into big totals or have not been able to rebuild after early losses. This pattern has become a visible concern as the season progresses.
The absence of consistent contributions from the middle order has meant that pressure often shifts back to the top order. That increases risk and reduces flexibility in team strategy.
Skipper Riyan Parag’s form has also added to this challenge. With an average of 13.50 in seven outings, he has not been able to stabilise innings or take control when required.
Despite these issues, RR remain in the top four, which shows that their top-order strength and bowling consistency have kept them competitive.
Against SRH, this middle-order weakness could again be tested under pressure.
IPL Live: Rajasthan Royals rely on top-order strength
Rajasthan Royals have built their IPL 2026 campaign around a strong top order, which has been one of their biggest strengths so far. The batting unit is led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel, who have consistently provided solid starts.
Jaiswal has brought stability and aggression at the top, while Sooryavanshi has emerged as a major impact player with a very high strike rate. Jurel has added support in the middle phase of the innings, helping RR maintain momentum.
However, this structure also exposes a gap. Once the top order fails or gets out early, the team has struggled to recover. The middle order has not consistently built on starts or repaired innings when early wickets have fallen.
Against a strong SRH attack, RR will depend heavily on their top order once again to set the tone.
SRH vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: SRH bowling unit no longer dependent on one leader
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling attack has gone through changes during IPL 2026, especially in the early phase when Pat Cummins was unavailable. In those first four games, the pace unit looked unbalanced and lacked variety. However, over time, the inclusion of younger bowlers and different combinations helped SRH build a more structured attack.
Now, with Cummins returning, the situation is different from what it was at the start of the season. The bowling group no longer depends on one leader to carry the attack. Instead, Cummins comes into a setup that has already started functioning better as a unit.
This shift is important for SRH because it allows them to use Cummins more as a strengthening option rather than a rescue solution. The pace attack has already found rhythm through players like Sakib Hussain and Eshan Malinga, who have shown improvement.
The challenge now is integration. SRH will need to balance experience and youth while maintaining consistency in execution. Cummins’ role will likely involve guiding phases of the innings while also contributing with the ball when needed.
IPL Live: SRH dominant record against Rajasthan Royals
Sunrisers Hyderabad go into this match with a strong psychological advantage over Rajasthan Royals. They have a 5-0 winning streak against RR in the IPL since the 2023 season.
Their most recent meeting, less than two weeks ago, also turned out to be a key moment in SRH’s season. That match is being viewed internally as a turning point, where several players found form and confidence.
Sakib Hussain, who made his debut in that game, has since become a regular contributor in the back end of innings.
Alongside that, players like Eshan Malinga and the batting duo of Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen have strengthened SRH’s overall balance. This combination of form and history gives SRH a clear psychological edge, even before the first ball is bowled.
IPL Live Score: Cummins returns at key moment
Pat Cummins is back in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s setup at a very important stage of IPL 2026, just before their clash against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. His return comes after a long injury break, and he is now available for selection and leadership duties. In his own words, he wrote on Instagram, “Been a long time coming, stinging to get back into it tomorrow.” For SRH, this return changes the team balance immediately, especially in the bowling unit that looked less varied in the first few matches.
Cummins had been missing since an Ashes fixture in December last year due to a back injury and also missed the T20 World Cup in 2026. His absence forced SRH to rely heavily on younger and less experienced pace options. While the team did manage to adjust and even improve over time, his presence now adds experience and control.
SRH now find themselves in a position where the bowling attack is not dependent on one individual, but Cummins is expected to strengthen the structure. His leadership role also becomes important, as he takes over captaincy duties from Ishan Kishan at a crucial point in the season, with exactly half the league games still left.
SRH vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: High-stakes clash with playoff implications
This match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad carries importance in the context of the IPL 2026 points table. RR are currently third, while SRH are fourth, making this a high-value contest in the league stage.
Both teams are aiming to secure playoff positions, and results at this stage can impact final standings. RR enter the match with five wins from seven games, while SRH are trying to build momentum after inconsistent results earlier in the season.
SRH are on a winning streak that started against RR. RR, however, come in with confidence after recent wins, including their strong performance against Lucknow Super Giants.
The match also represents a chance for both teams to test their balance. RR rely on depth and young Indian batting talent, while SRH depend on aggressive top-order power hitting.
With conditions in Jaipur expected to support competitive cricket, both sides will see this as a key opportunity to strengthen their position.
As the league reaches a critical phase, neither team can afford a slip in momentum.
RR vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2026: Middle-order pressure and form concerns
Both Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad enter this match with certain concerns around middle-order consistency. While top-order batters have delivered in phases, the middle order has not always provided stability.
For RR, Riyan Parag’s form has been under focus. As captain, his contributions with the bat have not been up to the expectations despite the team’s overall success. This puts additional responsibility on Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi and Jurel.
SRH also face similar issues when their top order fails to fire. The team’s dependence on aggressive starts means the middle order often comes under pressure quickly.
Travis Head and Riyan Parag, in particular, are two players who have not fully delivered consistent performances yet.
IPL Live: RR home advantage and Sawai Mansingh record
Rajasthan Royals’ use of Sawai Mansingh Stadium as a home venue has been a key talking point over the years. The franchise has had strong records in Jaipur in earlier IPL seasons.
However, in recent seasons, RR have also used multiple home venues, including matches played in Guwahati. This has affected consistency in home advantage.
Despite this, RR have shown strong performances at home in parts of this season, including clean wins over strong teams. Their ability to adapt to conditions remains important.
Historically, RR have tended to qualify for playoffs when they maintain a positive record at Jaipur.
With 10 points so far, RR are in a strong position, but they will want to strengthen their home record further.
A strong performance at home could help RR consolidate their place in the top half of the table as the league moves into its second phase.
IPL Live Score: Pat Cummins return boosts SRH balance
Sunrisers Hyderabad are set to receive a boost with the return of captain Pat Cummins for this match. His presence is expected to strengthen both leadership and the bowling attack.
SRH’s bowling unit has shown improvement in recent games but has lacked experience and consistency at times. Cummins’ return adds stability, especially in pressure situations.
His presence also extends SRH’s batting depth, giving the team more balance in their lineup. This becomes important against a strong RR side that has been consistent throughout the season.
SRH had struggled in certain matches due to absence of experienced leadership in key moments. Cummins’ return addresses that gap.
For RR, this adds another layer of challenge. They will now face a more complete SRH unit compared to earlier games this season.
SRH vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Praful Hinge performance still part of buildup
The first meeting between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 13 continues to be referenced in the buildup to this match, mainly due to Praful Hinge’s performance. That game saw SRH dominate RR and set the tone for a 57-run victory.
Praful Hinge headlined a 57-run drubbing of RR with a performance that has become part of IPL lore now.
That match exposed several weaknesses in RR’s gameplay. SRH’s bowlers and batters both contributed to a complete performance, leaving RR with limited answers.
Since that defeat, RR have improved significantly in their results, but the memory of that match remains relevant. It is being seen as a reference point for how far they have come and what they still need to fix.
For SRH, that performance remains a confidence booster. It showed their ability to dominate a strong side like RR on their day. However, playing away in Jaipur brings a different challenge.
The focus now shifts to whether RR can respond better in this second meeting. Both teams are aware that conditions and momentum will be different, but the earlier result adds context to this contest.
SRH have one of the fastest-scoring batting units in the tournament, with their top three scoring at a strong rate.
Their bowling, however, is still finding balance. Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain both took four wickets each on IPL debut against RR, but the attack remains relatively inexperienced and has missed the presence of captain Pat Cummins, even though it has improved in recent matches.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, have looked strong with five wins in their first seven matches.
Their Indian batting group of Yashasvi Jaiswal, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel has done well, though captain Riyan Parag has not made many big scores with the bat.
Even then, RR have continued to play with intent, using batting depth and an attacking style that has often put pressure on opponents.
Sooryavanshi has been RR’s top run-scorer with 254 runs at a strike rate of 220.86, including two 15-ball fifties.
Jaiswal has added both stability and quick scoring at the top, making 245 runs at an average of 49.00.
Jofra Archer has led the bowling attack with 11 wickets in seven matches and will look to add more against SRH.
Ravindra Jadeja also comes into the game after playing a key role against LSG, where he scored an unbeaten 43 and picked up an important wicket.
