The 36th game of the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026 sees Rajasthan Royals taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad. The two sides lock horns at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 25. It is worth noting that this will be the first game of the season that will be played at the venue.
Interestingly, Rajasthan Royals currently occupy third place in the standings. With seven matches played, the side has won five games and has just lost two. Having returned to winning ways in their last game, Royals will seek redemption from Hyderabad for their last game that resulted in a loss.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad sits in fourth place in the standings. With seven matches played, the side has won four and has lost the remaining three. They will hope for more of the same from their last game against Royals.

The surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is quite balanced. Offering something for both the batters and the bowlers, a good clash could be on the cards for the fans in Jaipur. Opting to bat first after winning the game could prove to be a wise decision on such a surface.
