Now the battle for Orange Cap in IPL is becoming very interesting. Till now it was occupied by Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but as soon as he got out for a golden duck against Sunrisers Hyderabad, two batsmen left him behind in one stroke. It is possible that some more batsmen may come forward in the coming days. In the last match, Vaibhav could not even open his account and his team Rajasthan Royals had to face its first defeat of this season.
