Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 21 of IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. RR come into this game unbeaten, while SRH are under pressure after back-to-back losses. These Fantasy Cricket Tips for IPL 2026 will help you build a smart Dream11 Prediction.
Rajasthan Royals have been the best team of IPL 2026 so far, winning all four of their matches and sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Under Riyan Parag’s leadership, they have looked dominant in every department. Their recent wins against CSK, GT, RCB, and MI show their consistency. The opening pair of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal has been explosive, giving them strong starts and putting pressure on opponents early.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have struggled to find rhythm this season. With just one win from four matches, they are currently near the bottom of the table. They are coming into this match after losses to Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. With Pat Cummins unavailable, Ishan Kishan is leading the side. While their batting has shown promise at times, their bowling has not been able to control runs, which has cost them in key moments.
