Despite facing another defeat, this time at the hands of Rajasthan Royals (RR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are celebrating the progress made on the Purple Cap list. Let’s take a look at the current standings for both the leading wicket-takers and run-scorers in IPL 2025.
The table adorned with a purple cap.
During Sunday’s match, Prasidh Krishna of Gujarat Titans (GT) claimed his 21st wicket. Joining him at the same number was CSK’s Noor Ahmad, who returned 1 for 42 from three overs against RR. However, despite his efforts, these expensive figures did not improve Noor’s position on the table. He still remains behind Prasidh with a lower economy rate and average. Currently, Prasidh has an economy rate of 7.85 and an average of 17.57, while Noor’s corresponding statistics are 8.41 and 18.42.
Despite his absence in recent games due to a shoulder injury, Josh Hazlewood of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) remains in third place with a total of 18 wickets. However, this could change as Trent Boult has the opportunity to surpass him and potentially catch up to the top-ranked players when Mumbai Indians (MI) face Delhi Capitals (DC) tonight. It is worth noting that there is inclement weather expected which may affect the game.
In the spirit of the Orange Cap, we have created a table to track and display the top scorers in our team.
Suryakumar Yadav has an opportunity to climb higher on the Orange Cap list in the potential MI vs DC match. Currently, he holds the fourth spot with 510 runs while top-ranked B Sai Sudharsan has a significant lead with 617 runs. Second-placed Shubman Gill is also quite a ways behind with 610 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who contributed 36 runs in RR’s victory against CSK, sits at third with 559 runs.
Joining the ranks of players taking the field tonight is KL Rahul, the leader of Delhi Capitals’ batting brigade. However, he trails Suryakumar at seventh place with a total of 493 runs.
