Heinrich Klaasen displaces Vaibhav Suryavanshi for most runs in IPL 2026, claims Orange Cap during SRH vs RR
Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan displaced Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the updated list of IPL 2026 Orange Cap during the match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad duo of Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan displaced Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the top two spots in the updated Orange Cap list in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday against Rajasthan Royals. Klaasen, who started this game with 184 runs, added 40 runs off 26 balls to his tally to 224 runs, the highest in the tournament so far.
Klaasen's captain at Sunrisers Hyderabad, Ishan Kishan, too made a huge jump in the race for IPL 2026 Orange Cap. Coming into the game with just 122 runs in four games, Kishan smashed 91 runs off 43 balls to move to 213 runs, thus occupying the second place in the list.
In the process, Rajasthan Royals sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi dropped to the third spot with 200 runs from four games. However, the 15-year-old didn't add any to his tally, after the teenager was dismissed for a golden duck off the bowling of debutant Praful Hinge.
