Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was the star of the IPL 2026 as the teenage star took the tournament by storm. The 15-year-old was the highest run scorer in the tournament and dominated the bowlers from the start. Sooryavanshi swept the post-tournament awards, becoming the youngest player in IPL history to bag the Orange Cap. Sooryavashi ended the season with 776 runs under his belt.

Despite the Rajasthan Royals' failure to make the final of the tournament, Sooryavanshi was the player to win the most awards at the post-tournament presentation ceremony. The Indian star won multiple accolades as he rose to fame in just his second season of the Indian Premier League.
