IPL 2026 Orange Cap Winners List

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest ever to win the Orange Cap in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL), after Gujarat Titans openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan fell cheaply in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday.
Sooryavanshi finished the tournament with a big lead. In 16 games, the Bihar-born lad finished with 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30. Shubman, who had scored a hundred in the chase in that game, needed 55 runs in the final to go past the Rajasthan Royals sensation. Sudharsan, who won the Orange Cap in 2025, was too in contention to eclipse Sooryavanshi.

The Orange Cap race in IPL 2026 remains intensely competitive, with several world-class batsmen pushing hard for the top position. Shubman Gill of the Gujarat Titans sits in second place with 618 runs, keeping the Orange Cap race wide open, while Heinrich Klaasen of the Sunrisers Hyderabad occupies third position with 606 runs. Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bengaluru continues to showcase his batting excellence with 600 runs in fourth place, proving why he remains one of cricket's most consistent performers. KL Rahul of Delhi Capitals follows closely in fifth with 593 runs, while Vaibhav Sooryavanshi of Rajasthan Royals, the former Orange Cap leader, has slipped to sixth position with 583 runs. The depth of talent in the IPL 2026 Orange Cap standings is evident, with Ishan Kishan (SRH) at seventh with 569 runs and Abhishek Sharma (SRH) at eighth with 563 runs, both maintaining strong positions in the battle for the Orange Cap.

Orange Cap is given to the player who has most runs in an IPL season. Likewise, the Orange Cap shifts from one player to another depending on who tops the list at that certain point in time.
