The Rajasthan Royals (RR) host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) tonight, 25 April 2026, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. This is RR's first home game in Jaipur this season after starting their home campaign in Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals continue to juggle dual home venues but remain well-placed with 10 points as they begin the second half of their IPL 2026 campaign.
Historically strong in Jaipur, RR will look to build momentum after a recent win in Lucknow and avoid past mid-season collapses. They face an in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad side, who arrive on a three-match winning streak and are boosted by the return of captain Pat Cummins. Both teams have concerns over key batters like Travis Head and Riyan Parag, but with momentum at stake in a crucial mid-season clash, neither side can afford a slip-up.
