IPL 2026: Sanju Samson, Virat Kohli And Suryakumar Yadav — One Player From Each Team Who Can Win Orange Cap | In Pics
As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 looms upon us, the tussle for the coveted trophy will begin yet again. However, it will also be for the Orange Cap and the battle will be cut throat, given the number of stroke players and the bona fide six-hitters in action. The likes of Virat Kohli, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav and Finn Allen will vie for the Orange Cap this season and it remains to be seen who takes it.
Sanju Samson
Based on his current rampaging form, Sanju Samson easily pips any CSK batter to become the top run-getter from the decorated franchise in IPL 2026. It will Samson's first stint with the franchise. (Image Credits: CSK X)
Ishan Kishan
While the SunRisers Hyderabad have a destructive opener in Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan edges him to become the highest run-getter in IPL 2026 from the franchise. Kishan was also in outstanding form in T20 World Cup 2026. (Credits: SRH X)
Shreyas Iyer.
Captain Shreyas Iyer is the mainstay in Punjab Kings' batting unit and can easily become their best batter in IPL 2026. With 604 runs in IPL 2025, he was PBKS' top run-getter in the season. (Image Credits: Shreyas Iyer X)
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli arguably remains at the top of the list when it comes to discussions around run-getters. Kohli could not only be Royal Challengers Bengaluru's top run-getter but also the leading run-scorer of the tournament. (Image Credits: Virat Kohli X)
KL Rahul.
Delhi Capitals' batting is likely to revolve around KL Rahul in IPL 2026. With Rahul set to open the innings in IPL 2026, he will have more time to score more runs. (Image Credits: KL Rahul X)
Shubman Gill.
While Gujarat Titans' B Sai Sudharsan won the Orange Cap in IPL 2025, Shubman Gill has been more consistent every season. With Gill getting discarded from India's T20I squad recently, it could spur him to deliver a record-breaking season. (Image Credits: Shubman Gill X)
Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Rajasthan Royals' Vaibhav Suryavanshi is carrying with him a rampaging form ahead of IPL 2026. The 14-year-old had announced himself in style in IPL 2025 and has the potential to take the Orange Cap, given he will be playing since the Royals' season opener. (Credits: X)
Finn Allen
While Kolkata Knight Riders has multiple players of potential, Finn Allen is likely to emerge as the best batter from the franchise. Allen is likely to open the innings and will get an opportunity to maximise the powerplay, increasing his chances of winning the Orange Cap. (Image Credits: KKR X)
Suryakumar Yadav.
Mumbai Indians also have a bunch of natural strikers but Suryakumar Yadav arguably has been most consistent and been close to the Orange Cap. While the star batter has been inconsistent for India in T20Is, he is consistent in IPL cricket. (Image Credits: Suryakumar Yadav X)
Aiden Markram.
Lucknow Super Giants' Aiden Markram could emerge as the top run-getter from the franchise. While Rishabh Pant will be keen to prove his credentials, Markram is carrying some excellent form from T20 World Cup 2026. (Image Credits: Proteas Men X)
