Vaibhav Sooryavanshi swept five individual awards at IPL 2026, becoming the youngest Orange Cap winner in history, the first player to win both MVP and Emerging Player in the same season, and the batter who broke Chris Gayle's all-time sixes record. Here is the full story.

From Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's record-breaking 776 runs to Kagiso Rabada's Purple Cap-winning 29 wickets, here is the definitive IPL 2026 Team of the Tournament with every player's stats and the moments that earned their place.

From Virat Kohli leading RCB to back-to-back titles to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s rewriting batting records, IPL 2026 produced unforgettable performances when the pressure was highest. These were the players who shaped one of the most remarkable seasons in tournament history.

After two ducks and weeks of pressure, Virat Kohli delivered when it mattered most. His unbeaten 75 guided RCB past Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 Final, securing back-to-back championships and cementing his place at the heart of the franchise’s greatest era.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 96 off 47 balls. Shubman Gill scored 104 off 53. RR posted 214. GT chased it with 8 balls to spare. Sometimes cricket gives you a perfect individual performance and still sends you home. Friday night in New Chandigarh was that night.

SRH had beaten RR twice this season. They had a plan for Sooryavanshi. They had Pat Cummins bowling full and straight from the first ball. None of it worked. 97 off 29 balls later, Rajasthan Royals were in Qualifier 2, and Sunrisers Hyderabad were on their way home.

Rajat Patidar walked in with RCB needing a big finish. He made 93 off 33 balls, the fastest innings of 90 or more in IPL history, posted the highest total in IPL playoff cricket and sent RCB into their second consecutive final with a 92-run win over Gujarat Titans. This is the full story of a night that belonged entirely to one man.

The IPL 2026 playoffs are set. Gujarat Titans look like the most complete side, RCB the most explosive, and SRH the most dangerous batting unit, while Rajasthan Royals enter the knockouts as the unpredictable wildcard nobody wants to face.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is no longer just a teenage sensation. With two sub-40-ball centuries and over 500 runs in IPL 2026, the 15-year-old is changing how fearlessly modern T20 cricket is being played.

Punjab Kings looked unstoppable after pulling off the highest successful chase in T20 history. Three weeks later, they are on a six-match losing streak and fighting just to stay alive in IPL 2026.
