Rajasthan Royals are 80/0 after the end of the powerplay. Sooryavanshi is accelerating well and is playing at a strike rate of 300. On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal is clearly struggling as he is on 19 runs off 16 balls. He needs to join the party now. 

A relatively quiet over one may say? 11 runs off the over. Rajasthan are 74/0 after five overs. 

18 runs off the fourth over. Sooryavanshi is smacking everything out of the ground. Eight sixes so far and the youngster completed half-century in only 16 balls. Can you believe it?

25 runs off the over. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took Pat Cummins to the cleaners. Insane hitting against one of the best bowlers of the world. Rajasthan are 45/0 after only three overs. 

Sooryavanshi is doing Sooryavanshi things. The 15-year-old hit his second six of the night. Eshan Malinga once again bowled a good over but a six off the final ball changed the equation. 11 runs off the over as RR are 20/0 after two overs. 

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ended the over with a six. Pat Cummins bowled excellent five balls but a short pitch one in the end allowed the youngster to send it across. Rajasthan are 9/0 after the first over. 

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal open the batting for Rajasthan Royals. Pat Cummins has taken up the new ball.

"We also would have bowled first as its a good chasing ground. this has been a good ground, as we have chased and defended. I am fit to play. Even now we have no other options than to win, I am happy with the team performance if we play to our potential. Jaddu comes back in the XI, Dubey is the impact player," Parag said. 

"We will bowl first.I think we have played some good cricket of late, we will try to keep our bowling simple and let them play to their strengths. Hinge comes back in. I think we are not bothered about the pressure, its a good chasing ground," Cummins said.

Riyan Parag has confirmed that Ravindra Jadeja has returned to the playing XI against Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

Captain Pat Cummins revealed that they have made just one change to the playing XI, as Praful Hinge comes back. He claimed four wickets against Rajasthan in his IPL debut. 

Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Well, the toss is only four minutes away now. Both captains would certainly want to bowl first as batting gets relatively easier as the game progresses. The dew factor can also play a part. 

Ishan Kishan played two matches against Rajasthan Royals this season and in the first game, he smacked 74 and added another 91 in the second game against RR. He has been a force to reckon with for Hyderabad and the keeper-batter can once again prove to be dangerous in the Eliminator. 

Let's just start with the dimension, because there is a bias; on my right is the longest side, 69 (meters). On my left is 63, straight down is 74. For the pitch, I've got Aaron Finch here, who is itching to put his pads on. When you first looked at this wicket, it is absolutely flat. This is a beautiful wicket. I think anybody in the world would love to put their pads on and come out and attack from here. But what I'm thinking about is, two world-class fast bowlers, you've got Jofra Archer, you've got Pat Cummins in either side, can they get anything out of this wicket? I think that there's enough here, with the brand-new ball, that there's a couple of little bare patches. Maybe they can get some balls to skid. Maybe they can get some balls to seam. But that will not last very long. Fair enough, now talk about the toss. This is a chasing venue. But then, knockout game, what do you think? You win the toss on a good batting surface, bat first, is that an option as well? I don't think it is. Just based on how good this surface looks, I don't think it will change one bit over the 40 overs of the match. So, 201 is the average winning score here. I think you need to get a lot more than that if you bat first, because chasing later on, that'll be the way to go. Well, you've heard him, chasing is the way to go," analysed Deep Dasgupta and Aaron Finch. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals met twice in IPL 2026 and in both occasions, the Pat Cummins-led side had the last laugh. They won the first game by five wickets and the second by 57 runs. 

15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi now needs only seven sixes to break Chris Gayle's longstanding record of most sixes by a cricketer in a single edition of the IPL. The Bihar-born currently has 53 maximums to his name in the cash-rich league this season.

Rajasthan Royals captain RIyan Parag played the last league game against Lucknow Super Giants, but he isn't entirely fit as well. The all-rounder is nursing a hamstring injury. However, he is likely to play the blockbuster clash against Hyderabad. 

Rajasthan Royals - Win, Win, Loss, Loss, Loss
Sunrisers Hyderabad - Win, Win, Loss, Win, Loss

Rajasthan Royals have won only two in the last five games, while Sunrisers hold the lead with three wins. Both teams have won their last two games. 

Well, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja isn't 100% fit at the moment. It is possible that the India all-rounder sits out for the Eliminator clash. In case the team management believes that Jadeja can play through the injury, he will be included. Otherwise, Sandeep Sharma or Ravi Bishnoi can play instead. 

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Eliminator clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. The winner of the match will play Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2. The losing team, in the meantime, will end their IPL 2026 campaign tonight.
