Young Batters Making Noise in IPL 2026
Three names sit at the top of this list, and none of them are veterans. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (RR) is not even in this group but deserves a line of his own. Here is how each of them has performed:
Sameer Rizvi (DC)
- Only batter in IPL 2026 with two fifties from two innings
- 160 runs scored across both innings
- Strike rate of 163.26 with 20 fours and 12 sixes
Devdutt Padikkal (RCB)
- Matches Rizvi on fifties but edges ahead on strike rate
- 111 runs at 201.81, the more aggressive of the two openers
- Highest score of 61 in two innings played
Angkrish Raghuvanshi (KKR)
- Two fifties from three matches, one game more than Rizvi and Padikkal
- Highest score of 52 at a strike rate of 169.23
- Settling into IPL cricket faster than most expected
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (RR)
- One fifty from two matches, but the numbers make him impossible to ignore
- Strike rate of 237.14, the highest among all fifty-scorers this season
- Highest score of 52 off very few balls, the most explosive innings on this list
Kohli, Rohit, and Klaasen Join the IPL 2026 Fifties List
The big names have shown up, too. Klaasen (SRH) is the only overseas batter with two fifties, three matches in, and is already SRH’s most reliable bat at a strike rate of 147.95.
Rickelton (MI) leads the one-fifty scorers with 81, just ahead of Rohit (MI), who made 78 at 176.56. Both in the same team, both delivering.
Kohli (RCB) has an unbeaten 69 at 173.21. Tim David (RCB) goes one better with an unbeaten 70 at 245.71. Different styles, same result for RCB.
Pant (LSG) rounds it off with an unbeaten 75. Lowest strike rate on this list at 127.11, but he finished the innings, and that tells its own story.
