Rajasthan Royals will be eyeing to take a step closer to the IPL 2026 finals as they take on a formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator on Wednesday. RR were the last side to make it to the playoffs, having defeated the Mumbai Indians in their final league stage game. RR will be hoping that captain Riyan Parag and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be fully fit for the clash against SRH, as the captain himself had admitted after the previous game that the duo played the match with some niggles. Apart from the injury concern, RR are a strong side and are unlikely to make any changes to their team combination for the must-win game.
Predicted RR playing XI vs SRH
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag (C), Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira, Jofra Archer, Shubham Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja/Ravi Bishnoi, Nandre Burger, Yash Raj PunjaImpact player: Brijesh Sharma / Sandeep Sharma
RR sweat over Jadeja, Parag’s fitness
RR will be hoping that captain Parag will be fully ft for the clash against SRH. In the game against MI, the RR captain lasted for just 8 balls in which he managed to score 14 runs. Overall in IPL 2026, he has only scored 272 runs at an average of 24.72, including a highest score of 90. It will be imperative for Parag to step up and deliver in the game against SRH, if he is 100% fit.
“I’m definitely not fit. All of this was mental toughness. I was not supposed to play today. I was not supposed to play another game,” Parag had said after the game against MI.
Another concern is Jadeja. In the game against MI, the southpaw came out to bat at number 9 and scored 19 off 11 balls. He bowled just 2 overs in that contest. Later, Parag revealed that Jadeja too was playing with some niggles. Now, if Jadeja isn’t fit for the Eliminator clash, then RR could be looking to bring in Ravi Bishnoi in place of the all-rounder.
However, given that the surface in Mullkanpur has assisted pacers more than spinners, RR could also bring in Sandeep Sharma to boost their pace attack. However, should Jadeja play, then the team will stay unchanged from the previous game.
All eyes on Sooryavanshi
RR will heavily rely on the 15-year-old to do the heavy lifting for the side at the top-order of the order in the game against SRH. Sooryavanshi is the side’s leading run-getter in IPL 2026 and has 583 runs in 14 matches, at a phenomenal strike rate of 232.27. The last time RR played SRH, Vaibhav scored a 103-run knock off just 37 deliveries. RR will expect him to replicate that feat in the Eliminator. However, the youngster will have to tread carefully in the powerplay, as SRH are well aware of his all guns blazing approach and could capitalize on it by luring him to play risky shots.
His opening partner Jaiswal will also be under scrutiny. In both games that RR have played against SRH previously in this season, the southpaw failed to perform, scoring just 1 and 10 runs. It will be imperative for the RR opener duo to go all guns blazing to provide the perfect start for the team.
