IPL 2024: Here Are The Current Orange Cap And Purple Cap Standings
The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) is underway and has completed 15 matches so far. All matches have been nothing short of an exhilarating experience for those involved as well as for the fans who gather to support their favourite teams in the tournament. Lots of runs as well as wickets have been witnessed so far but two player have stood out the most with their consistent and brilliant performances with bat and ball.
Orange Cap Standings
Despite RCB's 28-run defeat to LSG on Tuesday, Virat Kohli reclaimed the IPL 2024 Orange Cap. Although Kohli didn't make a substantial impact with the bat in the match, scoring 22 runs off 16 balls, he regained the top spot on the leaderboard with a total of 203 runs. Kohli briefly slipped to second position after Riyan Parag's unbeaten half-century against MI.
In the IPL 2024 Orange Cap standings, Riyan Parag holds the second position with 181 runs, while Heinrich Klaasen from Hyderabad maintains the third spot. Nicholas Pooran secured the fourth position after his unbeaten 40 lifted his run tally to 146. Quinton de Kock, a teammate of Kohli at Lucknow Super Giants, clinches the fifth spot following an impressive half-century in the previous match. Shikhar Dhawan now occupies the sixth place, with David Warner trailing at seventh.
The IPL's Orange Cap, awarded to the season's top run-scorer, has witnessed remarkable performances.
