Suryavanshi needs 46 runs to break Jaiswal’s record
In 2008, while playing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Marsh scored 616 runs and won the Orange Cap award. He became the highest run-scorer for an uncapped player in an IPL season. Fifteen years later, in 2023, Yashasvi Jaiswal broke Shaun Marsh’s record. The Rajasthan Royals star player scored 625 runs in IPL 2023. However, now his record is also in danger.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored 579 runs so far this season (IPL 2026) and is just 46 runs away from becoming the highest run-scorer by an uncapped player in a single IPL season. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi are playing together for the same team in IPL 2026. If the 15-year-old batsman scores 46 more runs, he will break Jaiswal’s impressive record.
Riyan Parag lashes out at commentators on ‘e-cigarette’ controversy
Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has appealed to television commentators and cricket experts to refrain from making personal attacks on players. Following the team’s seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Jaipur on Tuesday, Parag expressed disappointment at the scrutiny of players.
Parag said, “As far as the IPL is concerned, there’s a lot going on outside this year. As players, we try to give our best whenever we get the opportunity. It’s easy to say after a poor performance that players don’t know how to play or lack the mindset, but people don’t see the three to four days of preparation that goes into each match.”
