Vaibhav Suryavanshi's blast in IPL 2026

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been seen in excellent form this season. He has scored 680 runs in 15 matches so far in IPL 2026 and has captured the Orange Cap. Recently, in the eliminator match played against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Vaibhav scored 97 runs in just 29 balls. His explosive innings created a stir on social media. Cricket experts believe that this kind of consistency at such a young age is extremely rare.

“Can become the most expensive player in history”

Aakash Chopra praised Vaibhav Suryavanshi fiercely on his YouTube channel. He said that if Vaibhav ever comes to the auction table, he can become the most expensive player in IPL history. Aakash Chopra said, "Rajasthan Royals will do everything to keep him and there is no chance of him coming in the auction. But if he comes in the auction then he can be the most expensive player in IPL history." After his statement, a new debate has started among the fans whether Vaibhav can really get a price of Rs 30 crore or more.

Can we get more than Rs 30 crore?

Referring to the rising prices of players, Aakash Chopra said that when Rishabh Pant can be sold for Rs 27 crore, Vaibhav Suryavanshi can reach Rs 30 crore. He even said that if the purse of the teams increases further in the future, Vaibhav may get up to Rs 50 crore. This statement may have been given as a guess, but looking at Vaibhav's current form, it cannot be completely ignored. The demand for young Indian batsmen in IPL is continuously increasing and Vaibhav has proved himself to be a player for big matches.

Why would Rajasthan Royals not want to leave?

Young match-winning players are the biggest asset for any franchise in IPL. The way Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored runs consistently, it is clear that Rajasthan Royals can consider him as the face of the future team. Cricket experts believe that the franchise would not want to release him at any cost. This is the reason why Aakash Chopra also said that his chances of coming to the auction are very less.

Discussion on Saqib Hussain and Priyansh Arya also

Aakash Chopra made a big claim not only about Vaibhav Suryavanshi but also about other uncapped players. Praising young bowler Shakib Hussain, he said that if he comes in the big auction, he can get up to Rs 8-9 crore. Regarding batsman Priyansh Arya, he said that even though his season has not been that great, his batting ability can take him to Rs 8 to 10 crores.

Why is the price of young players increasing in IPL?

In the last few years, IPL franchises have been investing more in young Indian talent rather than experienced foreign players. The biggest reason for this is that young players can be a part of the team for a long time and perform better in Indian conditions. Players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi have proved that if there is talent and confidence, age becomes just a number.

Can the record of IPL history be broken?

At present, many big names are included in the list of most expensive players in IPL history, but the way Vaibhav Suryavanshi is in the news, it has increased the curiosity about the future auction. If his performance remains the same in the coming season, he can not only win the Orange Cap but can also hold the record for the biggest bid in IPL history.
