April 25 IPL 2026 Matches Schedule and Timing

The day begins at the Arun Jaitley Stadium with Match 35 of the tournament. The Delhi Capitals, currently sitting mid-table, are seeking to establish consistency after a mixed run of form. They face a formidable challenge against Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings, who have emerged as the early pace-setters of the 2026 season and remain the only undefeated side in the competition.

With extreme heat expected in New Delhi during the 3:30 pm IST start, physical endurance and spin bowling are anticipated to play crucial roles. Delhi remains unbeaten at home this season, setting up a competitive test for the league leaders.

The focus shifts to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur for Match 36, scheduled for a 7:30 pm IST start. Rajasthan Royals return to their primary home ground to face an aggressive Sunrisers Hyderabad unit. Both teams currently occupy positions in the top four, making this a vital fixture for playoff positioning. You can follow Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match scorecard here.
