RR vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026 Eliminator: The Sunrisers won the toss and put the Royals to bat. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi arrived at his destructive best and tilted the game in favour of the Royals very early. He took down the whole bowling of the SRH and scored 97 runs off just 29 deliveries, setting up the perfect stage for his team. Dhruv Jurel put in a great effort in the middle order, maintaining the momentum for the Royals. However, after the departure of Jurel, the Royals lost shape and were ultimately restricted to 243/8....Read More

The SRH bowlers did a good job in the death, but they needed their batters to be aggressive from the very beginning. But Abhishek Sharma fell for a duck and that rocked Hyderabad. Ishan Kishan looked good in the middle but Jofra Archer dismissed him. Archer completed a great trio of wickets as he picked up Travis Head after that. With the top three back in the hut, a lot depended on Heinrich Klaasen. But Yash Raj Punja took his wicket and that put the SRH on the back foot. After this, wickets kept tumbling and in the end, SRH were bundled out for 196. RR won the match by 47 runs going into Qualifier 2 to play against the Titans.

May 27, 2026 11:07:29 PM IST

Shivang Kumar smashing Archer

Brilliant batting from Shivang Kumar. He has smashed Jofra Archer for three boundaries in that over. 17 runs off that over, yet the target is too far out of their reach. The Sunirsers now need 59 runs off 18 balls to win the game.

May 27, 2026 11:02:18 PM IST

In the air and taken!!! Salil Arora goes over the infield on the off-side and is holed out in the deep. That is the 8th wicket to fall. The Sunrisers are now almost through to Qualifier 2.

May 27, 2026 10:47:45 PM IST

Jadeja finding rhythm

Brilliant over from Ravindra Jadeja. He just concedes three runs off it.

May 27, 2026 10:44:57 PM IST

Going through the motions

It is now just the formalities being done to play 20 overs, it seems like that. All the players are visibly going through the motions, delaying the inevitable.

May 27, 2026 10:40:36 PM IST

OUT!!!

GONE!!! Pat Cummins departs. This is now falling apart very quickly for the Sunrisers. Royals now have a foot in the Qualifier 2.

May 27, 2026 10:31:03 PM IST

Salil Arora joins the party!!!

Okay, so SRH are saying that this game is not over yet!!!! Reddy and Arora are continuing the aggression. They believe they can still do this.

May 27, 2026 10:27:16 PM IST

Nitish Reddy taking the fight

Two huge sixes!!!! Nitish Reddy is giving his best to keep the chase alive. A couple of sixes to end that over. It is still a huge task, but Reddy is trying.

May 27, 2026 10:25:58 PM IST

100 up for SRH

The 100 comes up for SRH. The task ahead is a lot but Nitish Reddy is fighting the battle.

May 27, 2026 10:17:09 PM IST

WICKET!!!! KLAASEN GOES!!!

Royals appealed but the umpire denied it. The review was taken and it turns out that it is out. Heinrich Klaasen departs and that should be the final nail in SRH's coffin. Only a miracle can save them from here.

May 27, 2026 10:14:44 PM IST

May 27, 2026 10:11:27 PM IST

End of powerplay

That brings us to the end of the powerplay. The Sunrisers have scored at a good rate, but is the wickets that they have lost is the problem. They are now 71 for four down. Notably, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Travis Head are back in the hut.

May 27, 2026 10:04:50 PM IST

BOWLED HIM!!!

ARCHER DISMANTLES THE STUMPS!!!! Travis Head departs!!!! Archer has given away runs but he has picked up three huge wickets. The game has changed completely in this spell.

May 27, 2026 10:01:19 PM IST

Brilliant over from Burger

Heinrich Klaasen is out in the middle. But Nandre Burger decided to be aggressive against him. He has bowled an outstanding over. Just one run off it, that of a wide. The Royals are really dominating the proceedings here.

May 27, 2026 9:58:07 PM IST

WICKET!!!

Smaran Ravichandran falls. The Sunirsers are three down. This is exactly how the defence should have started for the Royals. They have seized the momentum very early in this chase.

May 27, 2026 9:48:39 PM IST

Head and Kishan taking charge

The Sunrisers may have been rocked early by the wicket of Abhishek Sharma, but Travis Head and Ishan Kishan are keeping the hopes alive with counter attacking batting.

May 27, 2026 9:40:24 PM IST

Abhishek Sharma gone!!

Abhishek Sharma departs!!!! Dream start for the Royals. Archer gets the most important wicket in this defence.

May 27, 2026 9:22:51 PM IST

End of the innings!!

And that concludes the innings. A great final over, just 5 runs off it. A total that could have gone past 270 has ended up at 243/8.

May 27, 2026 9:16:38 PM IST

Brilliant over!!

Another wicket!!! What an over from Nitish Reddy. Just 5 runs off it and two wickets came off it. The Royals will be disappointed with what they have accumulated here after Sooryavanshi's blitz.

May 27, 2026 9:13:01 PM IST

SRH on song!!

Another wicket!!! A run out this time. Ferreira goes. This total will end up much shorter than first projected.

May 27, 2026 9:09:54 PM IST

Last 2 overs

13 runs off it but it was a decent over. The Sunrisers are doing a great job in dragging this back.

May 27, 2026 9:05:18 PM IST

Last 3 overs

A brilliant over from Malinga. Just 6 runs off it. If SRH can keep this under 250, they will have hopes of winning this game.

May 27, 2026 9:01:15 PM IST

Royals losing shape

In the air and taken!!!! Dasun Shanaka departs. The Royals are losing wickets at the wrong time. This could result in them ending with 15-20 runs less.

May 27, 2026 8:56:03 PM IST

Wicket!!!

Riyan Parag departs!!! SRH are trying to come back in this match. This could be a very important wicket.

May 27, 2026 8:53:43 PM IST

200 up for Royals

May 27, 2026 8:47:12 PM IST

Gone!!!

Fifty and gone!!! Jurel departs after reaching his half-century. Huge wicket for the Sunrisers. They would look to crawl back after this.

May 27, 2026 8:43:36 PM IST

Jurel does it in style!!!

Six!!! Jurel hits a six and brings up his half-century!!! What a brilliant knock from the RR keeper.

May 27, 2026 8:41:59 PM IST

SRH coming back into the game. After the wicket of Sooryavanshi, now they have picked up Jaiswal.

May 27, 2026 8:16:04 PM IST

SOORYAVANSHI GONE!!!!

OH!!!!!! He departs!!!! WHAT A DISHEARTENING SCENE!!!!! Sooryavanshi went for the shot and he has been caught at deep third. That is the end of a mesmerising knock. He just fell short of a record. OH!!!!! MAN!!!!!!

May 27, 2026 8:14:27 PM IST

Sooryavanshi knocking at the doors

97 off 28!!!! He needs to hit the next one for a boundary and the record for the fastest hundred will be his!!!!!

May 27, 2026 8:12:56 PM IST

The fastest IPL century is in danger

Another boundary!!!! Sooryavanshi has 85 off 26 balls. The fastest IPL century is off 30 balls. He needs 15 runs off 4 balls to equal the record, off 3 balls to break it.

May 27, 2026 8:10:54 PM IST

100 UP FOR RR!!!

A SIX!!! Guess from whose bat??!! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. With that the Royals go past 100 in just 7.2 overs.

WHO WILL STOP THIS GENIUS TODAY!!!???

ANOTHER FOUR!! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi seems unstoppable tonight. He is just destroying the SRH bowling. OH!!!! He follows it up with a maximum. If he bats for two or three more overs, the Royals might be in a position to bat the Sunrisers out.

May 27, 2026 8:04:25 PM IST

Jaiswal picking pace

Yashasvi Jaiswal is picking pace at the other end. He adds a boundary to his tally and moves to 23 off 17. This partnership is cruising along.

May 27, 2026 7:59:37 PM IST

End of powerplay

So, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has gone past the first six overs here. The powerplay is done. The ‘Boy Wonder’ has gone past his half-century. The Royals are in a position of strength at 80/0 after six overs.
