Top 5 Batsmen In IPL 2024 Orange Cap Standings
Virat Kohli: The RCB icon has been outstanding, to say the least. When the side isn’t performing, Kohli keeps delivering with the bat. But now when the fortunes are in favour of the Bengaluru-based unit, he still continues to deliver and has upgraded his game with a more attacking mindset which is a refreshing sight to behold.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: Despite the added responsibility of leading a side like CSK, the pressure has brought out the best in him as he continues leading the side with the bat and is currently second in the run-scoring charts. CSK will hope to see his form continue as the tournament heads to the business end.
Travis Head: The Australian international remains one of the most explosive batters of the season and his strike-rate over 200 showcases how he has been able to score runs quickly which has allowed SRH to score the mammoth totals that they have done through the season.
Sai Sudharshan: The young left-hander has been amazing in an under-performing Titans side but the franchise will be positive to back him in the coming seasons and hope that he can take his game to further heights.
Sanju Samson: The RR skipper improved his game significantly with the bat and has displayed immense leadership qualities by taking on the responsibility of scoring the big runs as and when the situation demands which has allowed RR to do well so far in the season.
Top 5 Bowlers In Purple Cap Standings
Jasprit Bumrah: The all-format bowler has now shown why he is supposed to be feared by anyone in the tournament. His uncanny wicket-taking abilities plus the minimal runs conceded make him almost a cheat code for any side to have and his four overs are certainly guaranteed to provide some sort of momentum to the side.
Harshal Patel: The PBKS pacer has taken his death bowling skills to another level and in particular the looping off-cutter has bamboozled some of the best batters which makes him arguably the most important bowler for the Punjab-based unit and is the first to hit the 20 wicket mark as well.
Varun Chakravarthy: Despite the mystery spinner not playing today, he will be elated to know that his side is in the top two and the TN-based player had a big role in their stellar run through the league stages. Despite a poor start, he has hit some form and is a threat to some of the best batters the tournament has to provide.
Tushar Deshpande: The pacer has come together as the full package for the defending champions and the responsibility of having to step up with the key bowlers out has brought out the best in the Mumbai-based pacer, taking his game to a new level and being one of the most reliable bowlers of the tournament.
Khaleel Ahmed: The left-arm pacer can bowl with the new ball and being able to swing the bowl both ways makes him a big threat in the powerplay. He also can chip in with his death-bowling skills as well which makes him a handy asset to have on your side.
