RR vs SRH highlights, IPL 2026: Vaibhav Suryavanshi's ton in vain as Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma star in Sunrisers win

Salil Arora hits the winning runs, a six off Nandre Burger as SRH romp home by 5 wickets. This was SRH's fourth win on the trot.

OUTTT!! The game isn't over yet. Brijesh Sharma gets both the set batters out in a single over as Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen depart within a space of four balls. While Nitish was trapped in front for 36, Klaasen holed out to Ravi Bishnoi for 29. SRH need 9 runs in the last 12 balls. SRH 220/5 (18)

After Abhishek Sharma perished for 57, just as it looked like Ishan Kishan is calling the shots, Rajasthan Royals strike again. Kishan gets a flat bat going forward only for Donovan Ferreira to take a running catch at long-off. Jofra Archer and Rajasthan Royals needed this wicket, Kishan walks back for 74 off 31 balls. SRH 166/3 (12.1)

OUTTT!!!! Another first over wicket for Jofra Archer. The Englishman is making it a habit in this IPL. And it's the big wicket of Travis Head. The SRH opener poked a delivery away from the body only to be caught by Dhruv Jurel. Head walks back for 6. Ishan Kishanis doing all the aggressive work while Abhishek Sharma is just watching from the other end. SRH 38/1 (3)

Second IPL hundred for Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 15-year-old gets into three figures in just 36 balls, one ball more than what he took to reach his maiden ton last year, The 15-year-old boy is ruling IPL once again. However, he was trapped in front by Sakib Hussain for 103. RR 175-3 (14)

Is Vaibhav Suryavanshi inching towards his second IPL hundred? Looks like so as the Rajasthan Royals opener is just a hit away from nineties. The second wicket stand between Suryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel is 107 runs from 60 balls. RR 142/1 (12)

Another blazing 15-ball fifty from Vaibhav Suryavanshi. This is the third time the Rajasthan Royals opener achieved the feat in IPL 2026. Yashasvi Jaiswal is the only RR batter to be dismissed. Eshan Malinga took the wicket. RR 95/1 (8)

6, 6, 6, 6 - What a start by Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the first over as the 15-year-old smacks Praful Hinge for four consecutive sixes in the first over itself. Yashasvi Jaiswal was just a mere spectator at the other end. RR 25/0 (1)

Pat Cummins: We're going to have a bowl first. The wicket looks good, but we have to see what we need to chase down. (How are you feeling?) Still really fresh. It's been a little while, but I've had really good preparation, a couple of bowls over here. I haven't played a game for a while, so we'll see how we go. But the body feels awesome. (Your thoughts on the job that Ishan did?) He's fantastic. Yeah, four wins from the first seven games. I think he played the style that we really try and lead into here at SRH, that aggressive, fearless, style approach. (What is going to be important for your unit away from home?) We know the pitch really well in Hyderabad. I think the challenge when you go play away is trying to sense what a good score is, what short work or ball work. So I think it's the first game for this venue for the season, so it'll be a challenge for both teams. Yeah, I've come in for Madushanka and Hinge has come in Harsh Dubey.

Riyan Parag: We were looking for the same as well, but having said that, last couple of seasons, we've not really done well chasing. So I'm happy with defending as well. I think we played most of our cricket here, the majority of our cricket here. We know this wicket really well. We have had our camp right because the season started as well. Seems like a pretty good wicket. Maybe a little bit of dew coming in later on, but won't really play that much of a role. I think we've got to be very clinical [than] last year. Last year we fell short by a couple of overs here and there. So the message to the group is that we always need to play 40 overs of good cricket. A few overs here and there can cost you an IPL game and that's how harsh the IPL is. So just try to put a collective 40 overs together and hopefully we win. (Runs required by yourself and the team given the scores last game) Absolutely, I think the middle order has to step up. I need to step up along with me, the couple of others batting in the middle order. I feel the openers have done really well, but they can keep on doing well and hopefully we can pick up our slack. (Combination the same?) No, we're going for one instead of 3-2.

SRH have won the toss and opted to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals. This is Cummins' first game in this year's IPL. The Australian is playing for the first time since December last year when he played in the third Ashes Test against England. He was sidelined by a back-related issue which also delayed his participation in the IPL. SRH made two changes. While Cummins replaced Dilshan Madushanka, Praful Hinge came in for Harsh Dubey.
