Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have met 24 times in the men’s IPL through their completed 27 May 2026 Eliminator. Hyderabad lead 14 wins to 10, but Rajasthan won their latest meeting by 47 runs: RR scored 243/8, then dismissed SRH for 196. The rivalry therefore has a clear overall leader and a different winner in its most recent knockout game.
The comparison starts with Sunrisers’ entry into the IPL in 2013; it does not add matches played by the older Hyderabad franchise under another identity. Rajasthan’s sole title came in 2008, and Sunrisers won theirs in 2016. Those championship dates offer club context, not a claim about an announced 2027 squad or a prediction for a future meeting.
Rajasthan Royals
Sunrisers HyderabadRR vs SRH IPL head-to-head record
The Rajasthan franchise’s dated 24-match timeline reports ten Royals victories and fourteen Sunrisers victories, with no ties or no-results. It includes both regular-season fixtures and playoff meetings. Their last five completed games illustrate the swing within that overall record: Hyderabad won four in succession across the 2024 qualifier, the 2025 opener and two 2026 league games; Rajasthan then won the 2026 Eliminator.
These figures stop at the 27 May 2026 match. RR’s 47-run playoff win moved their tally from nine to ten, while SRH’s total stayed at fourteen. Counting a playoff separately from the league fixtures matters here: Rajasthan and Hyderabad played three times in 2026, twice in the league and once in the Eliminator.

Most runs in RR vs SRH IPL matches
Sanju Samson heads the opponent-specific batting list with 764 runs. He is followed by Jos Buttler on 354 and Ajinkya Rahane on 347. Yashasvi Jaiswal has 307, and Ishan Kishan has 304. These numbers count runs scored in this matchup, not career IPL totals or runs in all matches of a particular season.
Completed RR–SRH IPL meetings through the 27 May 2026 Eliminator; historical team labels do not imply a current or future roster.
The last match changed two places on that board. Before the Eliminator, Jaiswal had 278 and Kishan 271 in this fixture. Jaiswal added 29 in Rajasthan’s 243/8, while Kishan scored 33 in Hyderabad’s chase, taking them to 307 and 304 respectively. Samson, Buttler and Rahane did not bat in that match, so their dated pre-match totals stay the same. Sooryavanshi’s 97 off 29 was decisive for the Royals on the day, but a standout single innings is not interchangeable with an all-matchup career total.
Last five RR vs SRH IPL meetings
Rajasthan’s 2026 Eliminator win came after a difficult sequence against Hyderabad. RR made 243/8 at New Chandigarh on 27 May; SRH were all out for 196 in 19.2 overs, giving Rajasthan a 47-run victory and a place in Qualifier 2. This was a completed result, not the 25 April league meeting at Jaipur, where SRH chased 229 after RR’s 228/6 and won by five wickets.
Earlier that April, Hyderabad had posted 216/6 at home and dismissed Rajasthan for 159 to win by 57 runs. The 2025 season opener was higher scoring: SRH’s 286/6 stood against RR’s 242/6, a 44-run margin. In May 2024, Sunrisers beat Rajasthan by 36 runs in Qualifier 2, scoring 175/9 before restricting the Royals to 139/7. Keeping each innings alongside its result avoids mistaking the later playoff meeting for a repeat of an earlier league fixture.
