Rajasthan Royals head into IPL 2026 with a batting lineup that offers a strong mix of youth, experience and power reminds. With several players capable of clearing the ropes consistently, RR possess enough firepower to dominate attacks across different match situations.
Yashasvi Jaiswal remains Rajasthan Royals’ most explosive batter. Known for his fearless approach at the top of the order, Jaiswal can take the game away during the powerplay itself. His ability to hit clean sixes against both pace and spin makes him a vital hard-hitting option for RR.
Shimron Hetmyer continues to be the Royals’ most dependable finisher. The West Indies batter thrives under pressure and is renowned for his ability to hit towering sixes in the death overs. Hetmyer’s power and composure make him a match-winner in tight chases.
Riyan Parag has grown into a reliable power-hitter in the middle order. Over recent seasons, Parag has shown improved consistency and the ability to clear the boundary regularly, especially against spinners in the middle overs.
Sam Curran adds left-handed power and depth to the batting lineup. While primarily an all-rounder, Curran’s ability to hit long sixes late in the innings gives RR additional finishing strength.
Ravindra Jadeja brings experience and clean ball-striking ability. Jadeja may not always be used as a frontline hitter, but his knack for timing the ball and clearing the ropes when required adds balance to the Royals’ batting.
Donovan Ferreira provides extra firepower lower down the order. Known for his aggressive intent, Ferreira can score quick runs and hit impactful sixes when given the opportunity.
With Jaiswal setting the tone at the top and strong finishing support from Hetmyer, Parag and Curran, Rajasthan Royals enter IPL 2026 with a batting unit capable of delivering high-impact, hard-hitting performances.
