Sooryavanshi ensured that RR never faced significant pressure while chasing a formidable total of 203, and his outstanding performance even earned him the IPL Orange Cap.

After the batsman helped the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeat Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match on Friday, skipper Riyan Parag complimented 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as someone everyone loves and likes having around.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s brilliant 78 off 26 balls and Dhruv Jurel’s undefeated 81 lead RR, who were chasing 202 runs. In his innings, Sooryavanshi notably hit seven sixes and eight fours. With 200 runs in just four games, Sooryavanshi also won the IPL 2026 Orange Cap (most runs).
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a fun-loving character who is well-liked in the team, according to RR captain Riyan Parag, who spoke during the post-match presentation. According to Parag, Sooryavanshi enjoys dining and going out, and the squad makes sure he can do so as long as he continues to bat in the same manner.I believe that he is adored by all. Everyone enjoys his presence. He enjoys eating. He enjoys going out and doing things like that. Thus, we ensure that he has access to that. Additionally, he is either 15 or 16 years old. Yes, engaging in childish activities. And that makes him happy.
