2. Ishan Kishan - 3 in 15 matches
Despite not ending the season as Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) highest run-scorer, it is safe to say that Ishan Kishan was his side's most consistent batter. The wicketkeeper-batter, who captained SRH during the early stages of the 2026 IPL, secured three Player of the Match awards, one against the Rajasthan Royals and two back-to-back honours against the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
His best outing came against the RR in Jaipur, in the same game in which Sooryavanshi scored a century. Chasing 229 in the second innings, Kishan hit a 31-ball 74, striking at 238.71 to help his side get over the line with nine balls to spare.
