The high-octane clash between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in Match 38 of IPL 2025 not only produced thrilling cricket but also led to a reshuffle in the Orange Cap standings. With batters continuing to dominate this season, the race for the coveted cap has become more intense than ever.
Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow Super Giants continues to top the Orange Cap table with 368 runs from 8 matches. His fearless batting in the middle order, powered by a jaw-dropping strike rate of 205.59 and 31 sixes, has been central to LSG’s campaign. Even though he didn’t add much in the latest fixture, his earlier blitzkrieg performances keep him in pole position.
Closely trailing him is Gujarat’s young sensation B Sai Sudharsan, who remains just three runs behind with 365 runs in 7 matches. Batting with a strike rate of 153.36 and notching up four fifties, Sudharsan has anchored Gujarat’s top order with composure and consistency.
The big mover in the table after Match 38 is Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli. With his tally now at 322 runs from 8 matches, Kohli has climbed to third on the list. While his strike rate of 140.00 is modest compared to others in the top five, his ability to hold innings together has proven vital for Bangalore.
Jos Buttler retained fourth spot with 315 runs in 7 matches at a strike rate of 164.06. The Gujarat opener’s explosive starts have consistently given his team a head start in the powerplay. Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal rounds out the top five, scoring 307 runs in 8 matches with a strike rate of 139.55 and four half-centuries.
Lucknow continues to dominate the top ten, with Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram both maintaining their places. Marsh has amassed 299 runs at a ferocious strike rate of 167.98, while Markram has contributed 274 runs with steady middle-order performances.
Delhi’s Lokesh Rahul holds on to the eighth spot with 266 runs in just 6 innings, showcasing both aggression and dependability. Meanwhile, Mumbai’s Suryakumar Yadav climbs to ninth after a stellar 68* against CSK, taking his tally to 265 runs.
With the business end of the season fast approaching, the Orange Cap battle is heating up. A single knock can shuffle the standings dramatically, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as IPL 2025 rolls on.
