SRH vs RR IPL 2026 Eliminator: Former champions Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals will face off in the IPL 2026 Eliminator match at New PCA Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on Wednesday. Pat Cummins-led SRH have won the title twice – once as Deccan Chargers in 2009 – and the last time back in 2016 while RR have only been victorious one time back in inaugural season in 2008.
SRH had a smoother rise into the Playoffs with 9 wins in 14 matches, including three in their last 4 games to book their berth in third place. Riyan Parag’s RR, on the other hand, had to take the long route by leaving it till their last league match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday to secure their top 4 berth.
RR will once again bank on the form of 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi – their leading run-scorer in the IPL 2026 season with 583 runs in 14 matches at a strike-rate of 232.2. RR’s Sri Lanka all-rounder Dasun Shanaka credited Sooryavanshi’s calm attitude for his success this season.
“He is very professional. It’s not about failing or getting runs, but what he does at the practice and how he behaves in the dressing room. How cool he is. I haven’t seen a kid like him behaving like that in the dressing room like that,” Shanaka said in the pre-match press conference in Mullanpur on Tuesday.
“Even the seniors will (rookies) put them under a lot of pressure, but this guy is very cool. I really love the way he is coping with things, whether he fails or he gets runs. He is a very natural kid. I see a lot of potential in him. Lot of good things,” Shanaka added.
RR captain Riyan Parag has been under pressure since the ‘vaping’ controversy earlier this year at the same venue for which he was hauled up by the BCCI as well. “He can be a really good leader for Rajasthan and for the Indian cricket as well. I have discussed a lot of things with him (leadership). Actually, as a player, I am also a guy who likes to learn from different people. I am also learning from him. Obviously, I am passing messages to him as well, which is really important,” Shanaka said about Parag.
SRH traditionally hold a massive edge when it comes to head-to-head contests against Rajasthan Royals with 14 wins as compared to 9 losses so far. But RR will look to turn the table on Kavya Maran’s side in the critical Eliminator match.
