Sai Sudharsan Leads Orange Cap Chart with Consistency

Gujarat Titans’ young star B Sai Sudharsan has taken firm control of the Orange Cap leaderboard, becoming the only player to surpass 400 runs this season. His incredible form saw him dethrone Nicholas Pooran, who had long held the top spot since Game 7.

Pooran’s Form Dips, Suryakumar Yadav Takes Advantage

Nicholas Pooran, once the leading run-getter from Lucknow Super Giants, is now slipping. A dry spell with the bat has cost him his No. 1 position. He now sits in second place with 377 runs from nine innings. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav is rising fast—after a quickfire 40* against SRH, he is just four runs behind Pooran with 373 runs, making him the new No. 3.

Jos Buttler and Mitchell Marsh in Pursuit

Jos Buttler, the ever-reliable GT opener, stays within striking range with 356 runs, while Mitchell Marsh of LSG follows close behind at 344 runs. The Orange Cap race is tighter than ever with plenty of games still left.

Ten Batters Cross 300 Runs Mark

The IPL 2025 has seen ten batters cross the 300-run mark, a sign of the tournament’s fierce batting competition. Notables include:

• Aiden Markram (LSG) – 326
• KL Rahul (DC) – 323
• Virat Kohli (RCB) – 322
• Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) – 307
• Shubman Gill (GT) – 305

SRH, surprisingly, is absent from this elite list, with Heinrich Klaasen being their top batter at 281 runs, just outside the top 10.

Prasidh Krishna Dominates Purple Cap Standings

On the bowling front, GT’s Prasidh Krishna remains in pole position for the Purple Cap with 16 wickets from 8 innings. His pace and precision have kept him clear of the chasing pack.

Seven Bowlers Tied at 12 Wickets

There is a seven-way tie for second place with 12 wickets each, including the likes of:

• R Sai Kishore (GT)
• Noor Ahmad (CSK)
• Kuldeep Yadav (DC)
• Hardik Pandya (MI)
• Josh Hazlewood (RCB)
• Mohammed Siraj (GT)
• Shardul Thakur (LSG)

Among them, Kuldeep Yadav leads in efficiency with a superb 6.50 economy rate, followed by Noor Ahmad at 7.66. Others are conceding over 8 runs per over, making economy rate a key differentiator in rankings.

Hardik Pandya Keeps Himself in the Mix

Mumbai Indians’ Hardik Pandya, with figures of 1/31 against SRH, continues to keep the pressure on the leaderboard. His performance adds crucial balance to the MI bowling attack and keeps him relevant in the Purple Cap conversation.

What’s Next in the Cap Races?

With the IPL 2025 season moving into its final leg, both the Orange and Purple Cap races are far from settled. Sudharsan may be ahead now, but Pooran and SKY are closing in fast. On the bowling side, while Prasidh leads, a tight contest brews behind him. Every match from here on could change the leaderboard.
