Nicholas Pooran has been in sensational form this season. With 201 runs in just 4 matches at a staggering strike rate of 218.48, he leads the run-scorers chart. Although he hasn’t scored a century yet, his two fifties and ability to clear the boundary with 16 sixes have made him an essential asset for Lucknow.
Following closely behind is Gujarat’s B Sai Sudharsan, who has quietly built his tally to 191 runs in 4 games. His strike rate of 150.39 reflects his steady and composed approach, contributing significantly to Gujarat’s batting stability. His back-to-back half-centuries have solidified his position in the top three.
Mitchell Marsh, also from Lucknow, sits third with 184 runs in 4 matches. With an aggressive strike rate of 185.86 and three half-centuries already, Marsh has been crucial in Lucknow’s explosive starts. His consistency is starting to worry opponents.
Suryakumar Yadav, known for his 360-degree batting style, has amassed 171 runs for Mumbai Indians, while Jos Buttler from Gujarat follows with 166 runs. Both batters have kept their teams in the hunt with reliable top-order contributions.
Shreyas Iyer of Punjab Kings made a significant leap in the standings after his blistering knock of 97. Despite playing only 3 games, he has 159 runs at a strike rate of over 206. His powerful hitting and form make him a serious contender for the Orange Cap.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head are also in the top 10, along with Gujarat’s Shubman Gill and Aniket Verma from Hyderabad, who have each played impactful innings. With each match altering the dynamics, the race for the Orange Cap is bound to remain fiercely contested.
