Who won yesterday’s IPL match between SRH and RR? IPL result and more

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) obliterated Rajasthan Royals (RR) to end their unbeaten streak at IPL 2026. After putting up 216 on a surface that had very little for bowlers, SRH then produced one of the most destructive new-ball spells this season to end RR’s four-match winning run. The game was effectively done inside three overs, and despite a brave fight from the lower order, RR went down by 57 runs. Punjab Kings (PBKS) remain the only unbeaten team now.

Debutants Hinge and Sakib rip the game apart in powerplay

There are collapses, and then there is what happened to Rajasthan Royals here.

Praful Hinge, on debut, produced a spell that will be talked about for a long time. Three wickets in his very first over. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel and Lhuan-dre Pretorius all gone before RR could even settle. No bowler in IPL history had done that on debut.

At the other end, Sakib Hussain made sure there was no recovery. He removed Yashasvi Jaiswal in his first over, and by the end of the third over, RR were 9 for 5. That’s not a typo. Nine for five. Basically, some fans who would’ve gone to have some food in the mid-innings break could’ve easily missed Rajasthan’s top five batters get humiliated by two youngsters. From there, the game wasn’t about chasing anymore, it was about survival.

The two debutants combined for 8 wickets between them, with Sakib finishing with 4 for 24 and Hinge picking up 4 for 34. For SRH, this is the kind of bowling performance they had been searching for all season.

Kishan leads the charge as SRH post 216

Before the chaos, there was Ishan Kishan setting it up. SRH didn’t have the smoothest start. Jofra Archer removed Abhishek Sharma first ball, and Travis Head never really got going. But once Kishan settled in, the innings changed quickly.

He made 91 off 44 balls, taking down RR’s in-form bowlers with ease. Once the powerplay ended, he targeted Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma, including a 21-run over that completely changed the tempo. His 88-run stand with Heinrich Klaasen came off just 39 balls, which ensured SRH were always ahead.

Even when RR pulled things back briefly with wickets, the finishing touches from Nitish Kumar Reddy (28 off 13) and Salil Arora (24* off 13) pushed the total to 216/6.

Ferreira and Jadeja fight, but damage too much to recover

At 9 for 5, Rajasthan Royals were staring at an embarrassment. Some even thought that RCB’s 49 all-out record is in serious danger. That it didn’t turn out due to Donovan Ferreira and Ravindra Jadeja. The pair added 118 runs for the sixth wicket off 72 balls, and for a brief phase, it looked like RR might at least make a game out of it.

Ferreira’s 69 off 44 was particularly impressive. He took on the spinners and didn’t let the asking rate get out of hand completely. Jadeja, at the other end, played the supporting role with a steady 45. But the equation never really favoured RR. At one point, RR still needed close to 100 off the last six overs. Once Sakib returned to dismiss Ferreira with a slower ball, the chase ended there.
