IPL — Rajasthan Royals take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at Sawai Mansingh Stadium (Jaipur) on Saturday, April 25, 2026. 

The ongoing TATA Indian Premier League 2026 (TATA IPL 2026) will see Rajasthan Royals (RR) lock horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match No. 36 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, April 25, 2026.

It will be a mouth-watering clash as Rajasthan Royals' in-form bowling attack will test Sunrisers Hyderabad's explosive batting in Jaipur. RR have been in great form this season, winning five of their seven games so far and sitting second on the table.

On the other hand, SRH have also found their mojo back, winning three games in a row, and now their captain, Pat Cummins, is also returning to make their attack lethal. SRH’s batting is always dangerous, and now they have the perfect attack to jump in the points table.

It will be their second meeting this season, with SRH crushing RR by 57 runs in Hyderabad on April 13. Now, RR will aim to take revenge in front of their home crowd on Saturday.

Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Info

Toss will play a crucial role at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The red-soil pitch offers better natural bounce and seam movement, so the new ball will do the magic for the fast bowlers in the powerplay. And then dew will help the batting in the second innings.

So, the toss-winning captain must bowl first to make the most of the condition, as around 64% of matches at this ground have been won by the chasing team.

 

The captain who will win the toss is expected to bowl first in Jaipur.

  • Likely toss call: Bowl
  • Par score (1st inns): 195

Sunrisers Hyderabad look like clear favorites to win this game against Rajasthan Royals. Their batting is in great form, with Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen turning out to be big threats to the opposition.

SRH's bowling also looks dangerous now. Eshan Malinga has been picking wickets consistently, and with Pat Cummins back, the attack looks more balanced and stronger.

SRH are also coming in with confidence after their hat-trick of wins. Plus, they have dominated RR in their IPL rivalry and even won their last five games against them, which gives them an edge.
