During the match, Rajasthan Royals faced a shocking collapse, reducing their score to 9 for the loss of five wickets at one stage while chasing a target of 217 runs set by Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Despite their undefeated run in IPL 2026, Jaipur’s team struggled against debutants Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain from SRH, who claimed four wickets each.
