Vibhu Suryavanshi continues to pile up records at an astonishing pace in IPL 2026, with the teenage sensation rewriting the milestone in almost every game and now climbing to the top of the Orange Cap race. Suryavanshi’s spectacular rise reached another historic milestone as he rose to the top of the Orange Cap standings. Virat Kohli Another explosive hundred followed Rajasthan Royals. Suryavanshi now has 357 runs from eight matches at an average of 44.63 and a staggering strike rate of 234.87. Interestingly, KL Rahul After his unbeaten 152 against Punjab Kings, he reached 357 runs. However, it is Suryavanshi who sits at the top because of his high strike rate. Kohli, who led the chart earlier, has scored 328 runs at an average of 54.67 and a strike rate of 163.18. The latest addition came via an impressive innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where Suryavanshi scored 103 off 37 balls, his second IPL century. The 15-year-old dominated from the outset and set the tone early, even hitting Perflehenge with four consecutive sixes in the opening over as a statement of intent. They found strong support in Dhruv Jaril, who scored a fluent half-century, and together they put on a 112-run second-wicket partnership that laid the foundation for a big collection. Jorrell’s 35-ball 51 ensured the pressure never eased, while Suryavanshi continued to annihilate the bowling attack with fearless strokeplay. The youngster completed his half-century in just 15 balls during the Powerplay, continuing a remarkable trend this season. He later turned it into a century in just 36 balls, scoring five fours and 12 sixes before being dismissed for 103 off 37 balls. Donovan Ferreira’s late fireworks added to the momentum as Rajasthan Royals posted 228 for 6 in their 20 overs.
