Hyderabad vs Rajasthan , Eliminator at New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh , IPL, 2026 , May 27, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Sakib Hussain to Ravindra Jadeja, A bizarre piece of play to end the innings. Rajasthan Royals finish with 243/8, their highest IPL total ever, beating their previous best of 242/6 against SRH as well last season. Sakib Hussain takes pace off for the umpteenth time and drags the length back, angling it across off. Jadeja comes forward and misses the swipe across the line, but the batters go for the bye. Ishan Kishan fires in a wide throw at the keeper's end and the bowler fails to collect it cleanly. This allows the batters to pinch the second bye as well.

19.5: Sakib Hussain to Sushant Mishra, Length ball outside off, Mishra advances, gets bat to ball and gets it towards cover for a quick single.

19.4: Sakib Hussain to Sushant Mishra, Another swing and a miss, and another dot ball. Sakib Hussain keeps it full and around off, slower too. Sushant Mishra goes after it but fails to lay a bat on it and Jadeja isn't interested in the bye either.

19.3: Sakib Hussain to Sushant Mishra, Could have easily been another run out. Slower one, full and outside off. Sushant Mishra swings and misses and looks for the single but Jaddu sends him back. Ishan Kishan misses his shy at the stumps.

19.2: Sakib Hussain to Nandre Burger, OUT! BURGER IS RUN OUT! They say never run off a misfield and why would Ravindra Jadeja even go for the second run when he's the senior batter out there? Strange running and RR aren't quite finishing with any sort of a flourish here. This is bowled on a length, just outside off. Nandre Burger pushes it to deep point for one. Eshan Malinga misfields and Jadeja calls him back for the second run. Malinga is quick to pick it up again and throws it to the keeper. Ishan Kishan whips off the bails with Nandre Burger nowhere in the frame.

19.1: Sakib Hussain to Ravindra Jadeja, Jadeja takes the single off the first ball, surprising. Slower ball, back of a length and outside off. Jadeja angles it down in front of mid-wicket and picks up a single.

18.6: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jofra Archer, OUT! CAUGHT! Such calm under pressure from Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Kumar Reddy has delivered a stellar 19th over for his side. Reddy keeps the length full but bowls it much straighter this time. Jofra Archer can't quite under the ball and heaves it down to long on. Sharma pouches it over his head and has the presence of mind to lob it up as he is about to touch the ropes. However, he ends up not touching the ropes at all and pouches it back with ease.

18.5: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jofra Archer, Reddy comes back well. Another wide yorker, perfectly just an inch or two inside the tramline and right on the popping crease. Jofra Archer fails to get any bat on it.

18.4: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jofra Archer, FOUR! Reddy overpitches and gets punished. Misses the yorker and serves a full toss around off. Archer manages to power it to the right of the cover fielder for a boundary.

18.3: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jofra Archer, Wow, another dot. Very full and very wide outside off, but Nitish Kumar Reddy lands it perfectly inside the tramline. Archer leaves it in hopes of a wide but won't get it.

18.2: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jofra Archer, Full and outside off again, Jofra Archer jams it into the turf and straight to the cover fielder.

18.1: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Donovan Ferreira, OUT! FERREIRA IS RUN OUT! Never a two there, and Donovan Ferreira has to walk back. Nitish Kumar Reddy dishes out a full and wide ball, outside the off stump. Ferreira reaches out and squeezes it to the right of deep third for a single. Shivang Kumar runs across and picks it up, and the batters decide a bit late to go for the second run. Kumar throws it to the keeper and Ishan Kishan whips off the bails in a flash. Replays show that Ferreira put in a dive, but he is well short.

17.6: Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! A boundary off the final ball makes it 13 off the over. Full and tailing in at the toes, Jadeja manages to jam his bat down, and cue ends it fine of short fine leg for a boundary.

17.5: Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja, And again! A fourth double in the over. Back of a length, around off, Ravindra Jadeja hangs back, waits for it and short-arm jabs it between deep mid-wicket and long on for two runs.

17.4: Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja, Full and around off, Jadeja leans on and punches it across to wide long on for yet another brace.

17.3: Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja, A bit of a bad bounce now and they get two more. Slower and shorter, angling away. Jadeja dabs it down to backward point, where Shivang Kumar gets a bad bounce and spills it behind.

17.2: Pat Cummins to Donovan Ferreira, Slower one, short of a good length and outside off. This is hit away down to long off for a single.

17.1: Pat Cummins to Donovan Ferreira, Should have been a run out! Full and angling into the pads, Ferreira clips it down to the right of deep backward square leg and wants two right away. Ravindra Jadeja is a bit hesitant and Eshan Malinga in the deep throws it to the keeper. Ferreira is well in, but had Malinga thrown it to the bowler, Jadeja would have been well out.
