Even after Rajasthan Royals being out of IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is still making records. Vaibhav has become the youngest batsman to win the Orange Cap of IPL. Shubhman Gill and Sai Sudarshan of Gujarat Titans were his nearest rivals, but both the batsmen were out early in the final.
Vaibhav has achieved the feat of winning the Orange Cap at the age of only 15. He is only the second player after Jos Buttler to have won the Orange Cap while playing for Rajasthan Royals. Butler won the Orange Cap while playing for Rajasthan in the 2022 season.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the youngest batsman to win the Orange Cap of IPL. Sai Sudarshan and Shubhman Gill were the only two batsmen who could realistically leave Vaibhav behind. But in the final, Gill could score only 10 runs and Sudarshan scored 12 runs. As soon as he was out, it was confirmed that Vaibhav would win the Orange Cap. After him in the list of highest run scorers is Virat Kohli, who is 176 runs away from Vaibhav.
