Vaibhav Suryavanshi Leads IPL 2026's Impact Charts at 15 — Year of the Sequel

Rajasthan Royals

5 May 2026

A year after becoming the youngest centurion in IPL history at 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi spent the IPL 2026 league phase doing something even harder: leading the tournament's batting impact charts as a 15-year-old. By the end of the league stage, Suryavanshi sat on 499.91 batting impact points and 404 actual runs — the highest impact score of the season, ahead of established internationals — and Rajasthan Royals had built a top-four campaign almost entirely around him.

Rajasthan Royals

April 2026

Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed a 36-ball century in IPL 2026 — the fastest of the season and the third-fastest in IPL history. Batting first at his home ground in Jaipur, the 15-year-old followed up his record-breaking 14-year-old century from 2025 with a sequel that confirmed his place at the very top of T20 cricket's young-player conversation.

IPL's Under-18 Player Welfare Protocols — Tightened in the Suryavanshi Era

BCCI / IPL franchises

March 2026

The BCCI tightened the IPL's under-18 player welfare protocols ahead of the 2026 season, in direct response to Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 2025 emergence as a 14-year-old IPL centurion. The new protocols include mandatory rest windows, restrictions on night-match attendance for the youngest players, and a personal mentor relationship — Suryavanshi was paired with Sachin Tendulkar — for under-18 IPL contractees.
