Best Memes of SRH vs RR, Eliminator - Funniest Reactions and Trolls

Sunrisers Hyderabad are now out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 after a poor performance against Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Stadium, New Chandigarh on Wednesday, May 27. SRH lost the game by 47 runs, enabling RR to advance to Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans on May 29.

the match started Vaibhav Suryavanshi Launching a ruthless attack against the SRH bowlers, cleaning them out all over the ground. Pat Cummins' team looked completely unaware of the 15-year-old as he scored a brilliant inning of 97 runs in just 29 balls. Dhruv Jurel (50 off 21) and Riyan Parag (26 off 12) also performed well, helping RR post 243/6, which is also their highest score in IPL history.

SRH had high expectations from attacking opener Abhishek Sharma that he would perform well in the challenging run chase in a do-or-die match. However, Abhishek was trapped by Jofra Archer for a silver duck to immediately bring RR into the game. Ishan Kishan And Travis Head made good use of the powerplay, but both were out after making a 50-run partnership. Smaran R also returned without adding much to the total score.

Despite a healthy run rate in the powerplay overs, SRH had lost four crucial wickets and looked to be in trouble after 71 runs, with the target far from being completed after the field restrictions were lifted. Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Salil Arora were also out after getting starts. The lack of major contributions from the batting unit ultimately led to the 2016 champions losing the crucial encounter.

Archer was the most impressive bowler for RR, taking three crucial wickets for 58 runs in his four overs. Nandre Berger was also impressive, taking 2-26 from three overs. Sushant Mishra (2-21 in 2.2 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (2-21 in 3 overs) had similar figures, while Yashraj Punja (1-39) also made good contributions with the ball. In contrast, Brijesh Sharma returned without taking any wicket.

The Rajasthan-based franchise will now face the Titans after a few days at the same venue. The winner will advance to the final, where it will face defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore. The final will be played on Sunday 31 May at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
