The IPL 2026 Eliminator pits Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. SRH comes into the match with a psychological advantage, having defeated RR twice in the league stage. Both teams have shown strong form recently, with each securing two consecutive victories. SRH's resurgence is credited to the return of captain Pat Cummins, who led the team to five wins in their last seven matches. A key player to watch is 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has emerged as a cricketing sensation this season. He has scored 583 runs with an impressive average of 41.64 and a strike rate of 232.27, including three fifties and one century. Sooryavanshi has also hit 53 sixes, just seven shy of breaking Chris Gayle's all-time record of 59 sixes in a single IPL season. The stakes are high, as the losing team will be eliminated from the tournament.
