    IPL 2026: Pretorius, Deshpande Come In As RR Elect To Bowl First Against SRH

    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Left-handed batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius and right-arm pacer Tushar Deshpande come in as Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday.

    Inaugural champions RR arrive on the back of winning all four of their games, while SRH, the IPL 2016 winners, return to their home ground after losing to Punjab Kings by six wickets in New Chandigarh.

    Deshpande replaces Brijesh Sharma, while Pretorius comes in as Shimron Hetmyer is rested. “A new wicket for us, first time it’s been used this season as well. So hopefully there’s a little bit of stickiness at the start. We’ve chased down a lot of totals here. We fell short in 2024, so hopefully not the case this time.
