Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's name is being widely discussed in IPL 2026. He continues to captivate fans with his explosive batting. Last Friday (April 10), during the Rajasthan Royals' (RR) match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Vaibhav played a blistering innings of 78 runs in 26 balls, including eight fours and seven sixes. Has Rajasthan increased Vaibhav's salary after this innings? So, let's find out how much he is earning this season.

So, let us tell you that Rajasthan acquired Vaibhav Suryavanshi for Rs 1.10 crore in the mega auction for IPL 2025. In the first season, Vaibhav played seven matches for the franchise, impressing everyone with his stellar performance. Rajasthan retained Vaibhav for the next season, the current season. Now the question is whether Vaibhav will receive more money in the 2026 IPL.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's salary in IPL 2026

Like last season, Vaibhav will receive a salary of ₹1.10 crore (approximately $1.1 million) for the 2026 season. This salary will be for the entire season. The franchise has not increased Vaibhav's salary. However, under BCCI rules, Vaibhav will receive an additional ₹7.50 lakh (approximately $1.7 million) as match fees for each match.

In fact, according to BCCI rules, all players in the IPL's playing eleven (including impact players) will receive a match fee of ₹7.50 lakh. If Vaibhav plays all 14 matches, he will receive ₹90 lakh as match fee. Consequently, Vaibhav could earn ₹2 crore (approximately $20 million) per season, including his contract and separate match fee. The BCCI implemented this rule starting with the 2025 season.
