As batters continue to entertain with stunning stroke play and consistency, the competition for the Orange Cap remains as fierce as ever.

In third position is B Sai Sudharsan of Gujarat Titans, with 191 runs in 4 matches. His consistency and calm demeanour at the crease continue to earn praise, and his two half-centuries have played a key role in Gujarat’s campaign so far.
Mitchell Marsh, also from Lucknow, holds the fourth spot with 184 runs at a strike rate of 185.86. His contributions have provided quick starts and have made a major impact in the powerplay overs.
RCB’s Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar occupy the sixth and seventh positions respectively, with 164 and 161 runs each. Kohli, the seasoned campaigner, has continued to be the anchor of RCB’s batting unit, while Patidar’s aggressive intent and fearless stroke play have added depth to their lineup.
