Rajasthan Royals head into IPL 2026 with a batting lineup that blends youthful aggression with proven international firepower. With several players known for their clean striking and finishing ability, RR have no shortage of six-hitting options across the order.
Yashasvi Jaiswal remains Rajasthan Royals’ most explosive top-order batter. Known for his fearless approach, Jaiswal has consistently taken on bowlers during the powerplay and middle overs. His ability to clear the ropes with ease makes him a key six-hitting weapon at the top.
Shimron Hetmyer continues to be RR’s most dependable finisher. The West Indies batter is renowned for his ability to hit towering sixes under pressure, particularly in the death overs. Hetmyer’s calmness and power make him a crucial asset in close chases.
Riyan Parag has evolved into a reliable power-hitter in the middle order. While earlier known for inconsistency, Parag has shown improved maturity and the ability to clear the boundary regularly, especially against spin.
Sam Curran adds left-handed power to the lineup. Although primarily an all-rounder, Curran’s ability to hit long sixes late in the innings gives RR valuable finishing depth.
Ravindra Jadeja brings experience and clean hitting ability. While not always used as a primary finisher, Jadeja’s knack for timing the ball and clearing the ropes when required adds balance to the batting unit.
Donovan Ferreira provides additional firepower. Known for his aggressive intent, Ferreira is capable of striking quick sixes, making him a useful impact option in high-scoring games.
With Jaiswal setting the tone at the top and strong finishing support from Hetmyer, Jadeja and Curran, Rajasthan Royals enter IPL 2026 with a batting unit capable of producing match-changing six-hitting performances.
