Top 5 Batsmen in IPL 2024 Orange Cap Standings
Virat Kohli (RCB): The Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s shining light continues to deliver with the bat however the team as a whole have not been able to perform. He may have had a disappointing outing today, especially after the controversial dismissal, but he still resides at the top of the run-scoring charts as he has accumulated 379 runs in total from the eight games he’s played at an average of 63.17 and a strike rate of 150.39
Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK): The Chennai Super Kings skipper has been leading this side from the front with the bat. The Opener has steadied the ship to build his and his team’s innings and then went on to launch into the bowlers.
Travis Head (SRH): The star of Australia’s World Cup Final win over India, has been tearing bowling line-ups apart in the IPL. Striking sixes from the first ball itself, the southpaw has been in terrific knick and has started to pile on the runs too. He has 324 runs to his name from six games, at an average of 54.00 and a strike rate of 216.00.
Riyan Parag (RR): The youngster has had a fantastic performance through the season with the bat and seems to have found himself at the number four spot with the Royals. He has racked up 318 runs at an average of 63.6 and striking at a rate of 161.42.
Sanju Samson (RR): The RR skipper has been an anchor for the team, putting in consistent performances every time, as he slowly and steadily works his way up the rankings of batters. He has accumulated 314 runs at an average of 62.80 and a strike rate of 152.42

Top 5 Bowlers in IPL 2024 Purple Cap Standings
Jasprit Bumrah (MI): Arguably one of the most valuable cricketers, Bumrah showcases his class during the important times. But, today just wasn’t Bumrah’s day as the ace pacer failed to scalp any wickets. This keeps his total at 13 wickets in the eight games and still remains on top.
Yuzuvendra Chahal (RR): The experienced leg-spinner continues to show his doubts why he is still among the best spinners in the tournament as despite his horrendous spell today, his historic 200th wicket, gave him the 13th of this season.
Harshal Patel (PBKS): Despite having a rough start, and still continuing to leak runs at an alarming economy of 9.58, Harshal’s splendid three-wicket scalp today against the Gujarat Titans took his total haul to 13 wickets, tying him with table-topper Bumrah.
Mustafizur Rahman (CSK): The Bangladeshi pacer bowler has been a revelation for the Chennai Super Kings. He has picked 12 wickets so far from seven games at an average of 23.08 and a strike rate of 13.75.
Gerald Coetzee (MI): Coetzee continues to frustrate with his high economy, as he struggled to scalp any wickets today. But, he continues to remain towards the top of the table with his total of 12 wickets so far.
