Vaibhav performed well: Saikia
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who plays for Rajasthan Royals, gave a record-breaking performance in IPL 2026. He scored 776 runs in the entire season and batted at a strike rate of 237.30. His explosive batting made him the most successful batsman of the tournament.

Vaibhav won the Orange Cap at the youngest age
Vaibhav also created history by winning the Orange Cap. At the age of just 15 years and 65 days, he became the youngest Orange Cap winner in IPL history. Earlier this record was in the name of Gujarat Titans batsman Sai Sudarshan, who achieved this feat in 2025 at the age of 23 years and 231 days.

Saikia also praised the successful conduct of IPL 2026 and congratulated Royal Challengers Bangalore for winning the title for the second consecutive time. He said that it has been a great season and hopes that cricket fans have enjoyed the entire tournament. He also described RCB’s achievement as special.

Now the focus of Indian cricket will be on the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup. The Indian women’s team has created history by winning the ODI World Cup on home soil last year and will now aim to win the T20 World Cup for the first time under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. Saikia said that the Women’s T20 World Cup is the next big challenge for Indian cricket. He expressed confidence that the women’s team can repeat its excellent performance like last year and give the country another world title.

Meanwhile, former BCCI President Anurag Thakur also congratulated RCB on becoming IPL champion for the second consecutive time. He said that IPL is the biggest cricket league in the world and winning the title twice in a row is a big achievement. Thakur said that a large number of RCB fans had turned up for the final held in Ahmedabad, which made the match more special.
