For all of Rajasthan's strong start, five wins from seven and second on the table with 10 points. But there's one number that should worry them. Riyan Parag is averaging 13.50 across seven outings this season. His struggle to anchor the middle order has stopped RR from asserting themselves once the top three are gone.
Rajasthan have papered over it because of how brilliant their openers have been. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi leads the team with 254 runs at a strike rate of 220.86, including two 15-ball fifties. Yashasvi Jaiswal isn't far behind on runs with 245. But sooner or later, somebody from the captain to Hetmyer to Jadeja has to take responsibility once the powerplay's gone. That hasn’t been the case yet.
Their bowling has clicked at times to rescue them. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger have been excellent, while Ravi Bishnoi has scalped regular wickets to keep the middle-overs in control.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report
25/04/2026 18:08
In IPL 2025, the average first-innings score at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium was 198, one of the highest of any IPL venue last year. Even so, chasing sides won four of the seven matches at the venue. That tells you two things at once: it's a high-scoring ground where the par total is 200-plus, but dew makes life tougher for whoever bowls second.
The other quirk worth noting, the big square boundaries make for an interesting equation when facing spinners.

History says this is SRH's fixture. Across 22 IPL meetings, Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 13 and Rajasthan Royals nine. The recent run is even more lopsided. SRH are on a 5-0 winning streak against RR in the IPL since the 2023 season, including a 57-run thumping in Hyderabad earlier this month.
