RR vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026: Power against power – IPL 2026 is all set for what might be the most exciting match of the season thus far. It is a battle between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, and it is all about the power-packed batters on show. Four left-handed opening batters who absolutely love demolishing a cricket ball early on, three of this quartet Indian talent who are redefining the limited overs game. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for the RR camp, and Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma across for them playing for RR....Read More
Although these six-hitting superstars headline this contest, there is much more riding on this contest. This match sees RR return to Jaipur after spending the first half of their campaign with Guwahati as their home venue – a return to Jaipur will also be assigned the responsibility of continuing their form and taking them to the playoffs, with the team in a good position at the moment.
But that could all change if SRH go on a run. A team with a dangerous batting unit – we mentioned that top two, but don’t forget Ishan Kishan soon after, and Heinrich Klaasen finding his power swing – which is also beginning to find the diamonds in the rough in the bowling department. Shivang Kumar and Sakib Hussain have been real gems, and what Praful Hinge did against the same opposition on debut is memorable.
But the big boost for SRH is the return of Pat Cummins – the Australian captain has been deemed fit to participate in the IPL over the second half of the campaign, and his joining the team suddenly makes it look very complete. There is some more batting depth, and there is an international superstar who they can turn to when the going gets tough.
SRH are currently on four wins and eight points, right behind RR on ten points with five wins. A win for SRH could be massive – their NRR is just a tick above RR’s, which means that a win for SRH tonight would see them vault into third place over the home team. It would also seal them well and truly in the running for the playoffs with the business end around the corner.
An exciting game with massive implications.

RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Terrific performance from Sunrisers Hyderabad across the board! Have made 229 look easy, and as a reward, go up into third in the table.
Done with time to spare – a day for big chases, a day for powerful batting to make their names bolder.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Another wicket for Brijesh – Klaasen falls
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: A late hiccup for SRH with the match all but sewn up – thigh-high full-toss from Brijesh, and Klaasen can't get the power nor the control. Picks out deep square leg.
Catches sticking now, but RR needed this earlier.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Six and out – NKR out to a searing yorker
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Great ball from Brijesh, speared into NKR's pads and that's plumb. But the damage is done – 36(18) for Nitesh after the prior ball is hammered into the stands for a terrific six.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 16 needed off 18 now
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 20 run over and that will settle it. SRH will want to wrap this up in the next over or so and get some NRR boost to give themselves an even bigger jump.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 36 needed off 4 overs – Klaasen launches six
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Good over from Brijesh there, digs in the yorkers. Every little bit helps to put the pressure on.
But Heinrich Klaasen! What a shot that is, very full from Deshpande, but it's excellent batting, waits on it and drives it over extra cover for a fantastic maximum.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Another drop! Swirling chance, nowhere close
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Sent miles into the air off the top edge from Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Brijesh Sharma at deep third man can't quite get a beat on it! Has forever to try and get underneath it but misjudges it – has to put a dive in at the last second, and ends up nowhere close to it! NKR survives.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 6, 4! Reddy keeps the runs ticking
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Terrific from. Nitish Kumar Reddy! QUietly putting together a very good season and things like this help – deflects the pressure with some quick boundaries to ensure RR can't generate momentum. Burger has been expensive today.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Terrific grab from Ferreira! Sends Kishan packing
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Much-needed moment of inspiration from the South African at long-off! Kishan tries to swat it but doesn't get the distance – to the extent that it looks for a moment as if he might survive. But Ferreira makes the ground and watches it all the way, making no mistake!
Twist in the script here? SRH ahead of the game here, but wickets can have an influence.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 63 needed off 48 – Klaasen joins the act
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Heinrich Klaasen got the run-rate to support his run-scoring with a great cameo against DC, and he wants to keep that going tonight. Already off to a good start with a few early boundaries. Required rate down below 8 now.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Abhishek falls! Picks out long off
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Not this time! Well connected but not enough power to clear Jofra Archer at long off. It's an opportunity that is well-taken this time around. Archer gets his arms up and takes it nicely.
139/2 after 10 overs. 90 needed off the back half.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: FIFTY for Ishan Kishan in 24 balls too!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: The vice-captain and the former vice-captain reach fifty in near-lockstep! Sweep shot to bring up his fifty, then Ishan Kishan launches a big six over long-on. SRH making this look easy at the moment.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: FIFTY for Abhishek off 24 balls!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Tell you waht, this has been nowhere close to his most brutal – a lot of patience and placement, picking the gaps and working the bowlers over. The shot to get to fifty is an example of it, low full toss wide of off stump, and he slices it away but with total control, all along the floor and easily away for four more.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 112/1 after 8 overs
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Boundaries continue to flow. Both these batters contributing equally to the run-scoring and going at essentially the same rate – RR have nowhere to turn to. Spurned their chances and are being made to pay for it.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: SRH hammer 89/1 in powerplay
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: After Prabhsimran and Priyansh scored 116 earlier in the day, this feels tame – but they are going at nearly 15 rpo. 140 needed off the last 14 overs, and Abhishek and Kishan will back themselves from here.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Can you believe it – Jadeja puts down a sitter!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Dropped catches are a part of cricket. But tell you what, you could put your house down on Ravindra Jadeja taking that simple catch right to him, and somehow you would lose it! No way he should be putting that one down, but it's straight to him and straight down. He will be so disappointed in himself.
Abhishek onto 30*(15).
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 19 run over! SRH in the ascendancy
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: A little more emphatic now! It was a sketchy start but both these batters beginning to find their range. Abhishek gives himself room and finds four more off Burger – the South African has been expensive!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Hetmyer loses it in the lights! Abhishek survives
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: What's happened there! Slashed hard towards deep third by Abhishek, but it looks to be right to Hetmyer – but the ball is lost in the lights, and he has no clue where it is! A terrific fielder, but simply doesn't pick it up and has to bow out from the catch.
Abhishek gets four – and punishes him next ball with six more!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Kishan goes after Archer – 12 off the over
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Really entertaining battle here. Archer beats the bat a couple of times, but Kishan also has the measure of him to spear a couple of drives and punches through the off-side.
38/1 after 3 overs – chase is on!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 13 run over but RR finding purchase – edged over slip!
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Abhishek Sharma gets away with one! Goes hard at Nandre Burger, thick edge which just evades first slip. Some probing bowling from RR early on, they will want to remove one of the two Indian southpaws before they can cause damage.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: NO MISTAKE THIS TIME! Jurel makes up, Archer still on fire
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Some ridiculous quality on show from Jofra Archer! Searing fast, leaving Head, produces another edge. Head is so tentative once again, an edge which carries for a simpler chance, and Jurel happy to take it this time!
Terrific early bowling from Archer, deserves this wicket.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: TRAVIS HEAD DROPPED FIRST BALL! Archer is fuming
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Can you believe it! Fielding across both matches has been sloppy today. That was a tough chance, but you expect a glovesman of Jurel's quality to take it. Archer produces a genuine edge from Head, but it's always fading away from Jurel – both hands to it, but can't hold on! Archer is hopping mad.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: RR finish on 228/6
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Hetmyer misses out on a juicy full-toss in the last over, falls on 11. In the end, RR reach 228/6, which is a solid score but within SRH's wheelhouse. Excellent performance at the death from them – 44 off the last 5 overs. Gives their batters a decent chance given their strength in the top order.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Ferreira falls! Malinga strikes
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Big wicket with 9 balls to play! Hetmyer not quite hitting it well so this Ferreira scalp could be significant. Low full toss so Ferreira times it well but can't get the elevation on it. Flies to long-on, and well taken by the fielder there.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 6, 4, 6! Ferreira motoring
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Great hitting! Ensuring Sooryavanshi's base doesn't go to waste – Sakib is being met, proving expensive on this day in Jaipur. Overpitched and hammered, then too short and hammered again. Excellent hitting by Ferreira, very quick and compact swings to get the runs moving again after a couple of quiet overs.
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: 195/4 after 17; Cummins terrific
RR vs SRH LIVE Score: Excellent spell on return by Cummins – making Sunrisers look terrific. Ferreira on 16*(10), Hetmyer fresh to the crease, and will be looking at 230 from here. Three overs to play.
