The Royals beat the Sunrisers by eight wickets at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur in their first meeting which dates back to April 27, 2013. Left-arm pacer James Faulkner picked up 5/20, his first five-wicket haul for the Royals, to restrict SRH to 144/9.
Shane Watson top-scored for the Royals with 98 off just 53 balls hitting 13 fours and four sixes. The Royals won the match comfortably with 13 balls to spare and Faulkner was adjudged the Player of the Match. This was also the Royals’ biggest victory over the Sunrisers.
Rajasthan Royals’ 72-run win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad during IPL 2023 is their biggest win against the Sunrisers in terms of runs. Batting first, the Royals put 203/5 on the board with the help of half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and skipper Sanju Samson.
In reply, the Sunrisers could manage only 131/8 as Yuzvendra Chahal picked up four wickets conceding just 17 runs in four overs. Trent Boult picked up two wickets as well. Buttler was adjudged the Player of the Match for his whirlwind 54 off just 22 balls which included seven fours and three sixes.
The Royals notched up their highest IPL total against the Sunrisers in 2026 scoring 243/8 in New Chandigarh. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi left the Sunrisers bowlers shell-shocked with a blistering 97 off just 29 balls, while Dhruv Jurel (50 off 21) and Riyan Parag (26 off 12) chipped in with fiery cameos. Rajasthan Royals bowled out Sunrisers Hyderabad for 196 in 19.2 overs and won by 47 runs.
Previously, Rajasthan Royals' highest score was 242/6, also against Sunrisers Hyderabad, in 2025 albeit in a losing cause at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Chasing a record 287 to win, the Royals put up a valiant fight courtesy of Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel's half-centuries but fell short in their IPL 2025 opener.
Jos Buttler's 124 off 64 balls against SRH in IPL 2021 is the highest individual score by a Royals batter in the history of the IPL. In IPL 2026, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi came close to toppling Buttler's mark but fell short after scoring a 37-ball 103. He reached his to in 36 balls, making it the second-fastest IPL hundred by any Indian batter.
James Faulkner’s 5/16 off four overs, which also included a maiden, in IPL 2013 is the best bowling performance for the Royals against SRH. Unfortunately, the Royals lost the match by 23 runs.
Interestingly, this was Faulkner’s second five-fer against SRH in a gap of 20 days after he had picked up a five-wicket haul in their first meeting in the IPL, making him the only bowler to have two five-fers for the Rajasthan Royals.
