Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off a commanding run chase to defeat Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 25, 2026. Chasing a daunting target of 229, Hyderabad showed remarkable composure and attacking intent, reaching the total in just 18.3 overs.
The victory was powered by a dominant batting display from Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, who took control after an early testing spell and dismantled the Rajasthan bowling attack with ease. Their partnership ensured the required run rate never became a concern, turning what looked like a challenging chase into a comfortable win.
Despite a strong total posted by Rajasthan Royals, highlighted by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s impressive century, the team struggled with poor bowling execution and fielding lapses. Sunrisers Hyderabad capitalized on these mistakes, sealing a convincing victory and exposing Rajasthan’s lack of control in crucial moments.
