SRH have dominated this rivalry in recent years, winning the last 5 consecutive matches between the sides. RR's last win against SRH came as a 72-run demolition in 2023. Across 22 IPL meetings, the Hyderabad outfit holds a 13-9 advantage.
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is RR's first home match in Jaipur this season. Expect clear skies, a batting-friendly surface that favours chasing, and dew creeping in from the 12th over onwards.
Balanced batting-friendly surface with quick outfield and large straight boundaries. Spinners get assistance between overs 7–15, making Bishnoi and Jadeja crucial for RR. Surface plays better under lights — chasing teams have won over 60% of T20 matches here. Average first-innings score: 166.
Clear skies with 0% rain probability — full match guaranteed. Heat wave conditions across northwest India: temperatures running 1.6°C to 3°C above normal. Warm, dry start through the powerplay; humidity climbs in the second innings, bringing moderate dew that further aids the chasing side.
Expected playing XI for both teams. Final lineup confirmed at toss. Pat Cummins is targeting a return for SRH after recovering from his lumbar bone stress fracture — but a captaincy decision between him and Ishan Kishan looms.
Four headline performers who will likely decide Match 36 — two stars from each squad with their IPL 2026 form numbers.

आरआर बनाम एसआरएच, मैच 36, IPL 2026 — पूरी विश्लेषण, पिच रिपोर्ट, मौसम, और ड्रीम11 कप्तान चुनाव। आज शनिवार 25 अप्रैल को सवाई मानसिंह स्टेडियम, जयपुर में शाम 7:30 बजे (IST) मुक़ाबला।
आज के आरआर बनाम एसआरएच मैच 36 में सनराइज़र्स हैदराबाद थोड़े फ़ेवरेट हैं। हमारी विश्लेषण के मुताबिक SRH की जीत की संभावना 54% है। तीन लगातार मैच जीत चुकी एसआरएच का मनोबल चरम पर है, और अभिषेक शर्मा के 135* की फॉर्म ने उन्हें टूर्नामेंट का सबसे ख़तरनाक टॉप ऑर्डर बना दिया है। राजस्थान रॉयल्स को घरेलू मैदान का फ़ायदा मिलेगा, और वैभव सूर्यवंशी की Orange Cap फ़ॉर्म से उम्मीद है।
जयपुर का सवाई मानसिंह स्टेडियम बल्लेबाज़ी के अनुकूल पिच मानी जाती है। पहली पारी का औसत स्कोर 166 के आसपास है। मध्य ओवरों में (7-15 ओवर के बीच) स्पिनरों को मदद मिलती है, इसलिए RR के रवि बिश्नोई और रवींद्र जडेजा की भूमिका बहुत बड़ी रहेगी। दूसरी पारी में ओस आती है जो चेज़ करने वाली टीम को आसान कर देती है। पिछले मैचों के आँकड़े बताते हैं कि 60% से ज़्यादा मुक़ाबले बाद में बल्लेबाज़ी करने वाली टीम जीतती है।
आज जयपुर का मौसम साफ़ है। बारिश की संभावना 0% है, यानी पूरा मैच होने की पूरी गारंटी है। उत्तर भारत में लू की वजह से तापमान सामान्य से 1.6°C से 3°C ज़्यादा रहेगा। पावरप्ले के दौरान गर्म और सूखा वातावरण रहेगा। दूसरी पारी में नमी बढ़ेगी और हल्की ओस गिरेगी, जो चेज़ करने वाली टीम के लिए फ़ायदेमंद होगी।
दोनों कप्तान पहले गेंदबाज़ी करना चुनेंगे क्योंकि लाइट्स के नीचे ओस के साथ चेज़ करना आसान होता है। टॉस मार्केट 50/50 के क़रीब है। जो भी टॉस जीतेगा, वो बल्लेबाज़ी के बजाय गेंदबाज़ी पहले करना पसंद करेगा।
यशस्वी जायसवाल, वैभव सूर्यवंशी, ध्रुव जुरेल (विकेटकीपर), रियान पराग (कप्तान), शिमरॉन हेटमायर, डोनोवन फरेरा, रवींद्र जडेजा, जोफ्रा आर्चर, नांद्रे बर्गर, बृजेश शर्मा, रवि बिश्नोई।
अभिषेक शर्मा, ट्रेविस हेड, इशान किशन (विकेटकीपर/स्टैंड-इन कप्तान), हेनरिक क्लासेन, अनिकेत वर्मा, नितीश कुमार रेड्डी, शिवांग कुमार, पैट कमिंस (कप्तान — चोट से वापसी), हर्ष दुबे, साकिब हुसैन, एशन मलिंगा।
22 IPL मुक़ाबलों में SRH ने 13 जीते हैं, RR ने 9। SRH ने पिछले 5 लगातार मैच जीते हैं। इस सीज़न के पहले मुक़ाबले (Match 21, हैदराबाद) में SRH ने RR को 57 रन से हराया था, जब डेब्यू कर रहे प्रफुल हिंगे और साकिब हुसैन ने 8 विकेट लिए और RR की पहली 3 ओवरों में 9/5 की हालत हो गई थी। RR आज इसका बदला लेने उतरेगी।
RR vs SRH मैच 36 का सीधा प्रसारण स्टार स्पोर्ट्स नेटवर्क पर TV पर और JioHotstar ऐप/वेबसाइट पर लाइव स्ट्रीमिंग होगा। हिंदी कमेंट्री Star Sports 1 Hindi पर। मैच की शुरुआत 25 अप्रैल 2026, शनिवार शाम 7:30 बजे (IST) से।

The RR vs SRH match 36 of IPL 2026 takes place today, Saturday, 25 April 2026, at the iconic Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, with the toss at 7:00 PM IST and the first ball at 7:30 PM IST. Rajasthan Royals host Sunrisers Hyderabad in what is genuinely the closest-called fixture of the IPL 2026 mid-season run. Both teams arrive with momentum, both have separate paths to the playoffs at stake, and both have key returning stars — Pat Cummins for SRH after a long lumbar bone stress injury layoff, and the entire RR home crowd at the Pink City for the first time this season.
Rajasthan Royals enter Match 36 sitting second on the IPL 2026 points table with 5 wins from 7 games and a strong NRR of +0.79. Their only two losses came against KKR and SRH (Match 21 in Hyderabad). SRH are fourth with 4 wins from 7, but on a three-match unbeaten run — they've thrashed RR (57 runs), CSK, and DC (47 runs) in succession. A win for either team here is huge: RR can establish dominance at the top, while SRH can leapfrog into the top three and lock in a playoff-leaning position.
The Jaipur surface is a balanced batting pitch with a quick outfield. Average first-innings score across recent T20s sits at 166, but the venue has consistently rewarded chasing teams — over 60% of completed T20 matches have been won batting second. The pitch offers spinners enough turn through overs 7–15, making it a stage for RR's Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja to dominate. SRH counter with Heinrich Klaasen, arguably the world's best player of spin, and Zeeshan Ansari's left-arm spin option.
Forecasts confirm clear skies with 0% rain probability in Jaipur for match day. A heat wave across northwest India means temperatures will run 1.6 to 3 degrees above seasonal normal. Conditions will be warm and dry through the powerplay, with humidity climbing in the second innings and moderate dew arriving from around the 12th over onwards. This further sweetens the chase — combined with the venue's chasing record, the toss will matter a great deal.
Across 22 IPL meetings, Sunrisers Hyderabad lead 13-9. SRH have won 5 consecutive matches against RR — the Royals' last win came as a 72-run demolition in 2023. This season's reverse fixture, played as Match 21 in Hyderabad, ended in a 57-run thrashing for SRH after Praful Hinge reduced RR to 9/5 in the first 3 overs before Donovan Ferreira and Ravindra Jadeja staged a 118-run sixth-wicket rescue act. RR were eventually bowled out for 159. Today, on home soil, RR will be desperate to settle that score.
For Rajasthan Royals: Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the IPL 2026 Orange Cap holder with 200+ runs. The 14-year-old recently became the fastest player in IPL history to reach 500 runs, doing so in just 227 balls — beating Glenn Maxwell's record of 260. Yashasvi Jaiswal has 184 runs and remains the elegant left-handed anchor. Ravi Bishnoi is among IPL 2026's leading wicket-takers, with a match-winning 4/41 against GT this season. Jofra Archer brings the new-ball threat.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma is in devastating form with 323 season runs at a strike rate of 229.26 (best among batters with 100+ runs). His unbeaten 135 off 56 balls against DC is the highest individual score of IPL 2026. Heinrich Klaasen has 320 season runs and averages 48.0 against RR at SR 182.98 — a horror matchup for any spin attack. Travis Head has 180 runs and is due a big knock. Eshan Malinga has 7 wickets in his last two matches alone. Pat Cummins' potential return adds genuine unpredictability.
Both captains will want to bowl first. Whoever wins the toss has a measurable advantage given the venue's chasing record and incoming dew. The market sits at 1.96 each side — a true coin flip. Indicative match-winner odds: SRH 1.85, RR 1.95. The total runs over/under sits at around 340.5 — a high line that reflects the Sawai Mansingh's batting-friendly surface and both teams' top-order firepower. All odds are indicative — verify with your platform of choice before placing any bets.
The safest Dream11 captain pick is Vaibhav Suryavanshi — top of the Orange Cap table, in form, batting at home. The ideal vice-captain is Abhishek Sharma, fresh off his 135*. For backup options, Heinrich Klaasen (vs RR record), Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ravi Bishnoi all warrant strong consideration. Avoid Riyan Parag in your top picks — his bat has been underwhelming this season despite his captain's role.
The match is broadcast live on the Star Sports Network on TV and streamed on JioHotstar via app and website. Hindi commentary is available on Star Sports 1 Hindi. First ball at 7:30 PM IST on Saturday, 25 April 2026.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are slight favourites with a 54% win probability. The combination of momentum (3 wins in a row), head-to-head dominance (last 5 wins), Abhishek Sharma's blistering form, and Klaasen's record against RR tilts the scales their way. RR's only path is to win the toss, bowl first, restrict SRH to under 175, and let Suryavanshi and Jaiswal chase under the dew. Expect a target in the 170-185 range with the chasing side winning narrowly.
