SRH Draws From 7 Playoff Trips, 7 Wins in 14 Matches — Srh Vs Rr
Sunrisers Hyderabad's srh vs rr story starts with a clean split: seven playoff qualifications and seven wins in 14 knockout matches. Since debuting in 2013, SRH have built a playoff record that swings between title runs and quick exits.
Sunrisers Hyderabad And Rajasthan Royals
The first knockout entry ended badly. SRH lost their debut appearance by four wickets against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator, a setback that set the tone for how unforgiving playoff cricket can be.
That loss sits beside a much stronger 2016 campaign. Sunrisers Hyderabad finished third in the league stage, then beat Kolkata Knight Riders in the Eliminator before chasing 162 against Gujarat Lions in Qualifier 2, where David Warner finished unbeaten on 93.

Warner's innings carried SRH into the final at Bengaluru, where they beat RCB to lift the trophy. It was the only time in the run listed here that Hyderabad strung together three knockout wins in succession.
The rest of the playoff record shows how often the margins have flipped. SRH fell in a rain-affected Eliminator against KKR in 2017, then missed the playoffs from 2021 to 2023 before returning in 2024.
SRH Playoff Numbers
Across those seven playoff qualifications in 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2024, SRH played 14 playoff matches and won seven. They missed out again in 2025 after winning six games, leaving the latest season outside the knockout picture even as the franchise's history still shows a balanced record once the playoffs begin.
