Rajasthan Royals to Play IPL 2026 Home Games in Pune and Guwahati

BCCI has barred Jaipur because the Rajasthan Cricket Association still lacks an elected body.

Overview

  • RR are relocating after Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium was found non-compliant with evacuation safety norms, as reported by RevSportz and News18.
  • IPL chairman Arun Dhumal said Jaipur will remain ineligible until the RCA conducts elections and installs an elected body.
  • RCA has been run by ad‑hoc committees for nearly two years, with another temporary panel reportedly set to replace the current one after an election impasse.
  • RR will split eight home fixtures between Pune’s MCA Stadium and Guwahati’s Barsapara Stadium, with Pune last hosting IPL matches in 2022.
  • RR’s roster has also shifted, with Ravi Bishnoi bought at the mini‑auction and a trade sending Sanju Samson to CSK for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran reported by FPJ.
