The thrilling clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians in Match 41 of IPL 2025 saw MI secure another dominant win, keeping their playoff hopes alive. While the match brought cheers for MI fans, it also led to significant shifts in the Orange Cap leaderboard, with several top batters continuing their run-scoring spree.
B Sai Sudharsan of Gujarat Titans maintains his stronghold at the top with 417 runs from 8 matches. His ability to build innings while maintaining a strike rate of 152.19 has made him the backbone of Gujarat’s batting order. Though he hasn't scored a hundred yet, his five fifties reflect top-tier consistency.
Nicholas Pooran from Lucknow Super Giants remains a serious contender, sitting second with 377 runs in 9 games. His aggressive brand of cricket, showcased by a strike rate of 204.89 and 31 sixes, the most in the top 10, has been pivotal for LSG in high-pressure moments.
Suryakumar Yadav, fresh off another classy knock against SRH, continues to climb the table. Now third with 373 runs from 9 matches, his innings of 68 not out helped MI seal the chase and highlighted his form resurgence. With a strike rate of 166.52, he’s among the most dangerous middle-order batters in the tournament.
Jos Buttler and Mitchell Marsh occupy fourth and fifth spots respectively, with 356 and 344 runs. Buttler’s steady scoring has complemented Gujarat's top order, while Marsh has shown excellent intent at the crease with 18 sixes to his name.
Aiden Markram, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill round out the top ten. Notably, Lokesh Rahul, despite playing only 7 matches, has already scored 323 runs, showing great impact per game. Kohli, just behind him with 322 runs, remains Bangalore’s anchor, while Jaiswal and Gill have both notched crucial fifties for their teams.
As IPL 2025 heads into its final stretch, the race for the Orange Cap is heating up. With form peaking and playoff pressure building, each innings from here on could be decisive in determining not just team fortunes but also the ultimate holder of the Orange Cap.
