IPL 2025: Updated Orange Cap table after RCB vs RR Match 42

The race for the IPL 2025 Orange Cap intensified after Match 42 between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), with Virat Kohli closing the gap at the top following a match-winning knock. As things stand, the list is headlined by Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan, but Kohli’s consistency has made him a serious contender.

Sudharsan remains the current Orange Cap holder, having amassed 417 runs from 8 innings at an impressive strike rate. His top score of 82, alongside three half-centuries, has played a crucial role in keeping Gujarat Titans at the top of the table. However, Kohli is not far behind. After scoring a fluent 70 against Rajasthan, he has now accumulated 392 runs in 9 innings, averaging superbly and showcasing his hallmark consistency. Although he hasn’t scored a century yet, his five fifties underscore his reliability at the top of the order.

Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow Super Giants follows closely with 377 runs, including a highest score of 87* and 32 sixes, the most among the top 10. He has brought an aggressive flair to the LSG middle order and is key to their playoff hopes. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav of Mumbai Indians continues his resurgence, sitting fourth with 373 runs in 9 innings. His strike rate and ability to dominate bowlers in the middle overs have been instrumental in Mumbai’s upward push.

The fifth and sixth positions are occupied by Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, both with 356 runs. Jaiswal’s 49-run blitz against RCB showed his explosive potential, though RR’s overall struggles have overshadowed his individual brilliance. His 20 sixes also highlight his boundary-hitting prowess.

Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, KL Rahul, and Shubman Gill round off the top 10. While Marsh and Markram have been reliable for their respective sides, Rahul’s unbeaten 93* remains one of the season’s standout knocks. Gill, although a bit off his usual standards, continues to contribute steadily.

With the league stage heading into its final leg, the Orange Cap race promises thrilling competition. The top-order batters are finding form at the right time, and with only a few matches left, every run could be decisive.
