After dominating the field with their batting, the Rajasthan Royals extended their momentum in the second innings and put up a fiery show to dismantle the rivals’ batting lineup, sending fans into a frenzy. The Royals were up against the SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 Eliminator on Wednesday, May 27 at the Mullanpur Stadium, New Chandigarh. The inaugural season winners were asked to put score on the field first, and the Riyan Parag-led side didn’t leave the chance to put up a competitive total of 243 runs with the loss of eight wickets.

The Orange Army was hoping to make a comeback in the second innings, but that was clearly not the plan on the other side. The RR bowling lineup studded with names such as Jofra Archer, showed no mercy and dismantled the SRH batting lineup to reduce them to 57-4 within power play. Star opener Abhishek Sharma was forced to walk back on a two-ball duck before the Englishman sent Ishan Kishan back on 33 runs in 11 deliveries.

Travis Head could manage to contribute 17 runs while Smaran Ravichandran added 1 run. In addition, Heinrich Klassen, Nitish Reddy, and Salil Aora managed to add 18, 38, and 35 runs, respectively. Apart from them, Pat Cummins and Eshan Malinga added 1 and 5 runs, respectively.
