The 15-year-old smashed 96 off just 47 balls in New Chandigarh, taking his tally to 776 runs from 16 matches this season.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>However, his heroic effort was not enough to take RR into the final.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The biggest threat to Sooryavanshi\u2019s Orange Cap now comes from Gujarat Titans\u2019 opening duo of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, who once again starred in a crucial chase.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Gill hammered a stunning century in Qualifier 2 to climb to second spot in the standings with 722 runs, while Sudharsan\u2019s fluent half-century helped him move to third with 710 runs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>With GT now advancing to the IPL 2026 final against RCB in Ahmedabad on Sunday, both Gill and Sudharsan will get one final opportunity to overtake Sooryavanshi in the race for the tournament\u2019s highest run-scorer award.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The top five run-getters list is currently dominated by batters from playoff teams. Sunrisers Hyderabad stars Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan occupy fourth and fifth spots respectively, with 624 and 602 runs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>RCB batting icon Virat Kohli remains in contention as well.
