RR vs SRH: Who are impact players nominated by Rajasthan Royals & Sunrisers Hyderabad for match 36 of IPL 2026

Both teams are placed third and fourth, respectively, in the points table.

Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad (RR vs SRH) are locking horns in the 36th match of the Indian Premier League 2026. The clash is underway at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Rajasthan Royals have played seven games in IPL 2026 so far, winning five and losing two encounters. They take the third spot in the IPL 2026 points table. SRH follow them in the next spot with four wins and three defeats in seven matches.

The Royals have been in amazing form in the tournament. They have maintained their position in the top four spots since the beginning.

On the other hand, SRH will be boosted by the return of their regular captain Pat Cummins in IPL 2026. As you know, Cummins missed SRH’s first seven matches due to injury. He is set to play in the encounter, and he replaced Dilshan Madushanka in the playing XI.

Praful Hinge has also returned to the playing XI. The right-arm pacer made his IPL debut in the previous clash against RR and clinched a four-wicket haul. In that match, SRH outplayed RR easily, with a brilliant bowling show by Hinge and Sakib Hussain.

RR suffered a humiliating defeat against SRH in their previous clash, witnessing a big batting collapse at the start. They would look to avenge their defeat in tonight’s clash.
