Rajasthan Royals are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL Eliminator in New Chandigarh on May 27, with the aim of advancing to Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans on May 29. However, their captain Riyan Parag is not at full fitness due to a hamstring injury that has been bothering him for the latter part of the season.
Parag missed the match against Lucknow Super Giants and appeared to be moving cautiously in the game against Mumbai Indians. Despite admitting that he is not fit to play, Parag has expressed his determination to feature in the upcoming matches. In his absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal has taken on the role of leading the team.
Rajasthan Royals will be hoping to secure a victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad to keep their title hopes alive. With Parag’s injury posing a challenge, the team will need to rely on their other players to step up and deliver a strong performance.
The match against Sunrisers Hyderabad is crucial for Rajasthan Royals, as a win would bring them one step closer to their second IPL title. The team will need to work together and make the most of their strengths to overcome the challenges they face in the Eliminator. Published on May 27, 2026.
