RR vs SRH IPL 2026: Preview, Head-To-Head Record As Rajasthan Royals Play First Home Game In Jaipur

Rajasthan Royals will look to extend their strong run of form when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 36 of IPL 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, April 25.

RR have emerged as one of the most consistent sides this season, clicking in both batting and bowling. Youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been a key force with the bat, while Jofra Archer has led the bowling attack effectively in crunch moments. Fresh from a convincing 40-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants, Rajasthan will head into the clash with confidence.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, have also had a solid campaign despite a few mixed results recently. With four wins in seven matches, they have impressed with their aggressive batting style and have already beaten Rajasthan earlier in the season. That win will give them added belief as they aim to challenge the hosts again.

With both teams in competitive form and vital points at stake, a closely fought encounter is expected in Jaipur.

RR vs SRH: Pitch At Sawai Mansingh Stadium

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has traditionally offered a balanced surface, providing opportunities for both batters and bowlers. However, during IPL 2025, the venue witnessed several high-scoring contests, suggesting a shift towards a more batting-friendly pitch. With this match scheduled under lights, chasing could prove advantageous, as conditions are likely to ease for batters later in the game.
