## User Question

## Correct Answer Pattern

>
> | Metric | Value | Context |
> |--------|-------|---------|
> | Matches | 16 | Full season |
> | Runs | **776** | **Orange Cap** winner |
> | Average | 51.73 | |
> | Strike rate | **237.31** | Extraordinary for a full season |

> Suryavanshi dominated IPL 2026 with a combination of volume and strike rate rarely seen together. His 237.31 season SR across 327 scoring balls (estimated) is the defining statistical signature of IPL 2026.
>
> **Note**: RR did not win IPL 2026 — RCB were champions. Suryavanshi won individual honours (Orange Cap, fastest century, most sixes) playing for a team that did not win the title.

## Required Concepts

- [Vaibhav Suryavanshi](../scorebook/players/vaibhav-suryavanshi.md)
- Orange Cap: most runs in a season
- RR: Rajasthan Royals — different franchise from the IPL 2026 champions RCB

## Required Metrics

- **Runs**: 776 (Orange Cap)
- **Average**: 51.73
- **SR**: 237.31
- **Sixes**: 72 (season record in corpus)
- **Fastest century**: 36 balls
- **PP SR**: 233.6, #1 of 45

## Citation Behavior

1. Present the full season table.
2. Note Orange Cap (776R), fastest century (36 balls), most sixes (72).
3. Clarify: Suryavanshi's RR did NOT win the championship — RCB did.
4. Cite the canonical player page.

## Caveats

- RR did not qualify for the IPL 2026 final; verify at the canonical standings page.
- "Fastest century" and "most sixes" are both corpus-scoped (Cricsheet 2007/08–2026 + IPL 2026).
- Suryavanshi's 237.31 season SR is extraordinary but based on 16 matches — a full season sample.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Suryavanshi won the IPL 2026 title for Rajasthan Royals." *(Suryavanshi played for RR; RCB were the IPL 2026 champions. Suryavanshi won the Orange Cap as an individual award.)*
