IPL 2026 Top Run-Getters Prediction: From Virat Kohli To Sanju Samson, Finn Allen And Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Players Likely to Win Orange Cap | In Pics
With the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) only a few days away, the excitement is already building up among the fans. Following the run fest in the latter stages of T20 World Cup 2026, fans should brace up for more fireworks with the bat. The tournament has not shortage of batters, who can dish out sixes at will – from Virat Kohli, Sanju Samson to the 14-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and the dynamite from New Zealand, Finn Allen.
Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli will always be part of the discussion when the highest run-getter of an IPL season is under discussion. He has already won it twice and will be favourites to do so again. (Image Credits: Virat Kohli X)
Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson has rarely been consistent in IPL but has he turned a corner? The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) keeper-batter will be a firm contender to take the orange cap based on his exploits in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2026. (Image Credits: Sanju Samson X)
Ishan Kishan.
Ishan Kishan will enter IPL 2026 in beast mode after racking up 317 runs in India's victorious T20 World Cup 2026 captain. With Ishan set to lead the SunRisers Hyderabad in the first few matches due to Pat Cummins' injury, the added responsibility should spur him to perform better. (Image Credits: Ishan Kishan X)
Abhishek Sharma.
Abhishek Sharma largely struggled in T20 World Cup 2026 but he must have turned a corner after cracking a 18-ball fifty against New Zealand in the final. Should the left-hander return with renewed energy, he will pick apart the oppositions' bowling units. (Credits: Abhishek Sharma Instagram)
Suryakumar Yadav
While Suryakumar Yadav hasn't quiet shown the required consistency in T20 cricket over the past 12 months, he is always amongst the runs for the Mumbai Indians and scores heavily in IPL. With no captaincy pressure in IPL, the right-hander should turn on his beast mode. (Credits: Suryakumar Yadav X)
Finn Allen
Finn Allen is all set for his maiden IPL appearance and is almost likely to open for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Allen was the second-highest run-getter for New Zealand in T20 World Cup 2026 and has gathered enough experience and possesses hunger too. (Black Caps X)
Aiden Markram.
South African captain Aiden Markram had an outstanding run in T20 World Cup 2026, scoring 286 runs in eight innings at 47.86 alongside a strike rate of 165.31. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will bank on his form to get themselves off to solid starts in IPL 2026. (Image Credits: X)
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the fearless 14-year-old prodigy, is set to play from the start of IPL 2026, contrary to the previous season. Having enjoyed a prolific run in the U19 World Cup 2026, the left-hander could breath fire from the outset in the upcoming edition of IPL. (Image Credits: X)
