The Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur has always been the home of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but it might not be in the competition’s upcoming edition.
Reports had emerged of late that suggest the inaugural champions could be interested in moving down south to the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune.
While nothing has been said on this officially, the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) is reportedly making moves to keep things as they are ahead of IPL 2026.
RCA Want RR At Sawai Man Singh Stadium In IPL 2026
According to a report by Cricbuzz, the RCA has approached the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to keep Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Stadium as RR’s home venue in IPL 2026, stating the following in an extensive letter:
“We respectfully request the BCCI to allocate the home matches of the Rajasthan Royals to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, for the forthcoming IPL season. The RCA assures its complete cooperation and proactive engagement to ensure the smooth, secure, and successful conduct of IPL 2026 in Jaipur.”
With only a few months left in the commencement of IPL 2026, fans should likely not have to wait too long to learn about where RR will be playing their home games.
