In the IPL 2026 clash at Hyderabad, Sunrisers Hyderabad put on a ruthless show to hammer Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs. Batting first, SRH racked up a commanding 216 for 6 in their 20 overs. The star of the show was Ishan Kishan, who absolutely lit up the stadium with a fiery 91 off just 44 balls, smashing 8 fours and 6 sixes. After Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head fell early, Kishan took charge, steadied the ship, and then went into beast mode. He got good company from Heinrich Klaasen, who chipped in with 40, while Nitish Reddy blasted 28 off 13.
Young Salil Arora did not stay out on 24 and helped push the total well past 200. Rajasthan Royals’ chase was a nightmare from ball one. They slumped to a shocking 1/3 in the very first over. Debutant Praful Hinge announced himself in style, ripping through the top order by removing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, and Lhuan Dre Pretorius. He wasn’t done there. He also got captain Riyan Parag and finished with impressive figures of 4 for 34.
The other debutant, Sakib Hussain, was equally devastating. He sent back Yashasvi Jaiswal early and later broke the back of the innings by dismissing Donovan Ferreira, who fought hard for a top score of 69 off 44. Hussain ended with brilliant figures of 4 for 24 and cleaned up the tail as well. RR never really recovered and were bowled out for 159 in 19 overs – a comprehensive win for SRH, powered by their fearless young guns.
