Rajasthan Royals have made a strong start to IPL 2026 with back-to-back wins - a dominant victory over Chennai Super Kings followed by a tense, come-from-behind defence against Gujarat Titans. The team looks confident, with Riyan Parag crediting "smart cricket" and Tushar Deshpande showing his dominance, but performance coach Siddhartha Lahiri has urged caution.
Having seen similar early momentum fade in previous seasons, Lahiri reminded the team, "It's a long season, we can't get excited. " He added that success and failure often come down to perception: "When we win, it all looks smart. When you lose, it looks unsmart. "
Despite their impressive form, the Royals know challenges lie ahead as they face a strong Mumbai Indians side. The five-time
champions remain dangerous, but have shown vulnerabilities, especially in away matches since 2023. With key players like Hardik Pandya expected to return, MI will pose a serious test.
For Rajasthan, the focus remains on consistency. As Lahiri summed it up, "Even here, you have to turn up fresh. "
