GT batter Jos Buttler praised RR opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying, "I feel like Vaibhav almost was the IPL this year." The 15-year-old scored 776 runs in 16 IPL 2026 matches to become the youngest player to win the Orange Cap. Buttler called Vaibhav's impact "unbelievable," adding that he has become one of the most talked-about cricketers in India.
