Who is the orange cap holder in the 2024 IPL?

Virat Kohli is still the leading run-scorer of IPL 2024, having made 316 runs in his five games for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, including the first hundred of the season, against Rajasthan Royals.

In second place is Gujarat Titans batter Sai Sudharsan, with 191 runs followed by Royals’ Riyan Parag, with 185. Sudharsan’s captain Shubman Gill is in fourth place, with 183 runs, while Parag’s captain Sanju Samson rounds up the top five with 178 runs from four games.

Jos Buttler of Royals is the only batter other than Kohli this season to score a hundred. He made it off the very last ball of the same match in which Kohli got his century. Kohli, Parag, Samson, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Rishabh Pant and Quinton de Kock have all scored two half-centuries each.

Abhishek Sharma of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who made a blazing 37 off 12 balls in his team’s win over Chennai Super Kings on Friday, has the highest strike rate among the top ten batters at 217.56.

Who is the purple cap holder in the 2024 IPL?

Yuzvendra Chahal, the Royals legspinner who took two wickets in their victory over RCB, is the leading wicket-taker of the 2024 IPL, with eight wickets at an economy of 6.35. In second place is CSK seamer Mustafizur Rahman, with seven wickets at an economy of 8.83 from three games. Four of those seven wickets came in the season’s opening game, which CSK won by six wickets.

Three other seamers have seven wickets each: Mumbai Indians’ Gerald Coetzee, Titans’ Mohit Sharma and Delhi Capitals’ Khaleel Ahmed.

And six bowlers have six wickets each: Lucknow Super Giants’ Mayank Yadav and Yash Thakur, who took the first five-for of the season in LSG’s 33-run win over Titans on Sunday; plus Nandre Burger (Royals), Kagiso Rabada (Punjab Kings), Umesh Yadav (Titans) and Anrich Nortje (DC).

Mayank, LSG’s 21-year-old express pace bowler who has repeatedly topped 150kph on the speed gun this season, has the lowest economy rate – 6.0 from three games – among the top ten wicket-takers.
