Where To Watch SRH Vs RR: The sixth match of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League will be a ‘rivalry-week’ match between two teams that have been successful in recent seasons, as the Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on the Rajasthan Royals in Match 21 of the competition. But when will this IPL 2026 match be played, where will it be played, and where can you watch it live? These, among some other questions, will be answered here.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad won their one and only IPL season all the way back in 2016. Since then, they have made a couple of finals, most recently in 2024, where they lost to KKR. Last year was not the most memorable one for this team, as their lethal batting was done in by their mediocre bowling. The Sunrisers finished sixth in 2025

They started their season off with a massive win over the Kolkata Knight Riders. Then, in their most recent game, they were beaten by the Lucknow Super Giants in a thriller. Then came a loss against the Punjab Kings.
On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals were the inaugural champions of the IPL, winning the league all the way back in 2008 under the leadership of the late-great Shane Warne. However, since then, they have been a middle-of-the-road team, occasionally making it to the playoffs and even making it to the final in 2022. 2025 was a disappointing year for them, as they finished ninth in the table.
They have started this season off in fine fashion. In their opening game, they thrashed the Chennai Super Kings. Then, in their second match, they beat the Gujarat Titans in a thrilling contest. Then, in their third game, which was rain-affected, they thoroughly beat the Mumbai Indians. Then came their fourth in in a row, against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
