IPL 2026, SRH vs RR Today Match: Pat Cummins is set to make his first appearance of the season for Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, April 25, 2026. Cummins, who had been sidelined with a back injury and missed the initial matches of the season, has been declared fit after undergoing scans and completing his recovery in Australia. The 32-year-old confirmed his return through a social media post ahead of the match. “Been a long time coming, stinging to get back into it tomorrow,” he wrote on Instagram on Friday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad head into the contest in strong form, having won their last three matches to climb to fourth place in the points table with eight points. In Cummins’ absence, the team was led by Ishan Kishan and managed to recover from an inconsistent start to the campaign.

Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, sit third in the standings and will be looking to continue their strong run.

Cummins’ return is expected to strengthen SRH’s bowling attack as they look to maintain momentum in the second half of the tournament.
