Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow continues to lead the Orange Cap table with a total of 368 runs from 8 matches. He has maintained a phenomenal strike rate of 205.59 and has already struck 31 sixes this season. Pooran’s fearless middle-order hitting has been crucial to LSG’s success, and his consistency has kept him at the top of the chart despite not scoring heavily in the latest fixture.
Close on his heels is B Sai Sudharsan from Gujarat, who has accumulated 365 runs in just 7 matches. His strike rate stands at 153.36, and he has four half-centuries to his name. Sudharsan has been a stabilizing force for the Gujarat batting line-up and remains a strong contender in the Orange Cap race.
Jos Buttler, also from Gujarat, occupies the third position with 315 runs in 7 games. He boasts a strike rate of 164.06 and has notched up three fifties this season. His aggressive starts at the top of the order have provided Gujarat with a solid foundation.
Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal follows closely with 307 runs from 8 matches. Although his strike rate is relatively modest at 139.55, his ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a steady flow of boundaries has been valuable.
Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram, both representing Lucknow, occupy the fifth and sixth spots respectively. Marsh has scored 299 runs at a strike rate of 167.98, including 17 sixes. Markram, meanwhile, has registered 274 runs from 8 games, including three fifties.
The top ten also features Delhi’s Lokesh Rahul, Mumbai’s Suryakumar Yadav, Punjab’s Shreyas Iyer, and Bangalore’s Virat Kohli. All four players have crossed the 250-run mark, with Iyer being particularly impressive with a strike rate nearing 195.
As the tournament progresses, fans can expect further reshuffling in the Orange Cap standings. With several matches still to go, the competition among batters remains fierce and the margin for error increasingly narrow.
