In a dazzling display of batting prowess, KKR Sunil Narine and Phil Salt surged up the ranks of the Orange Cap table during their explosive innings against the Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. Narine’s spectacular knock of 81 runs and Salt’s impressive 32-run contribution propelled them to the third and fourth positions respectively on the leaderboard.
Meanwhile, in a thrilling encounter on Saturday, Virat Kohli reclaimed his position at the summit of the IPL 2024’s top run-scorers list. Kohli’s electrifying innings of 42 runs off just 27 balls powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a thrilling four-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans at the iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium. This stellar performance edged out Chennai Super Kings’ captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had briefly claimed the top spot with a remarkable innings earlier in the week.
However, it was a different story for Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan, who witnessed a downward slide in the rankings after managing just 6 runs against Bengaluru on Saturday, dropping to the fifth position.

Each year, the competition to become the highest run-scorer in the tournament ignites the passion and skill of the players, with the Orange Cap symbolizing excellence and dominance on the cricketing stage.

Following closely behind were Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s skipper Faf du Plessis with 730 runs and Chennai Super Kings’ Devon Conway with 672 runs. Notably, Virat Kohli of RCB secured the fourth position with 639 runs, while Yashasvi Jaiswal rounded up the top five with 625 runs.
