The current standings for the Orange Cap.
While several batters have achieved scores exceeding 200, Nicholas Pooran from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) continues to dominate at the top. With a total of 288 runs in five innings and three half-centuries under his belt, he maintains his position as the number one scorer.
Surging ahead after his top performance in the IPL is B Sai Sudharsan. His impressive knock of 82 off 53 balls earned him Player-of-the-Match honors and marked his third half-century this season. His stellar performance helped GT reach a formidable score of 217 for 6, which ultimately proved too daunting for RR to chase. The talented player has been in top form throughout the IPL, amassing a total of 273 runs over five innings.
Close behind is Pooran’s LSG companion, Mitchell Marsh. His lively performance of 81 runs from 48 balls proved vital in securing LSG’s third victory this season against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). With a total of four half-centuries in five innings, Marsh’s run count now stands at 265.
In the current rankings, GT’s Jos Buttler holds the second spot with a score of 203, thanks to his performance on Wednesday where he scored 36 more runs. Following closely behind him is Mumbai Indians’ (MI) Suryakumar Yadav with 199 runs in fifth place.
