Abhishek Sharma- Ishan Kishan- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: There is a lot of excitement in IPL 2026. This is an uproar regarding something which is not the choice of the bowlers playing in this league, but is definitely the choice of all the batsmen. Every batsman playing in IPL wishes to get it. At present that beautiful thing is with Vaibhav Suryavanshi. But whether it will remain with them will completely depend on Abhishek Sharma and Ishaan Kishan. We are talking about the Orange Cap, to get which both Abhishek and Ishaan are after him. Apart from these two, another SRH batsman Heinrich Klaasen is also involved in the race to get the Orange Cap from Vaibhav.

Match 41 of IPL 2026 is between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians at Wankhede ground. Abhishek, Ishaan and Clason, all three will be seen playing in this match. These three are not far behind Rajasthan Royals' 15-year-old stormy batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who won the Orange Cap after playing an explosive inning of 43 runs against Punjab Kings in the 40th match of the league. Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal also praised him while handing him the orange cap after the match. Yashasvi told that he enjoys batting with Vaibhav.

The duo that is fun to watch on the pitch and even off it 😄 motiv

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 400 runs in 9 matches

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has completed 400 runs after 9 matches in IPL 2026. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the fastest batsman to score 400 runs in a season of IPL. With this special record, the Orange Cap has been named after him. But, just 24 hours after Vaibhav got the Orange Cap, the match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad is going to be played, Vaibhav is not far from the reach of Abhishek, Ishaan and Clausen.

Abhishek-Ishaan-Klason behind Vaibhav

Abhishek Sharma is second in the race to get the Orange Cap. Abhishek has 380 runs in 8 innings of 8 matches. Meaning, he can remove the orange cap from Vaibhav's head as soon as he scores his 21st run against Mumbai.

Ishan Kishan has 312 runs after 8 matches. After making SRH win the last match, he had said that his best is yet to come in IPL 2026. Can he be the best against Mumbai Indians? After all, Wankhede has also been their home ground for 7 seasons of IPL i.e. from 2018 to 2024. Ishan Kishan needs 89 runs to get Orange Camp from Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Sunrisers' Heinrich Klaasen is also in the race for the Orange Cap. But will he be able to wear it himself after removing it from Vaibhav's head or not? This will decide on how many runs he will score against the Mumbai team? Heinrich Klaasen needs 52 runs to get the Orange Cap from Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He has 349 runs in 8 matches.
