In IPL, while on one hand there is a competition among the teams to come out ahead, on the other hand there is a competition among the batsmen also. This time, it is difficult to say who will get the orange cap given to the batsman who scores the most runs. The special thing is that even though Abhishek Sharma has this cap on his head at this time, there are three batsmen who have managed to score 400 runs this season. That means this war is fierce and is also becoming interesting.
Abhishek Sharma captured the Orange Cap by scoring 425 runs.
The batsman who scored the most runs in IPL this season is Abhishek Sharma. He has scored 425 runs after playing 9 matches. Abhishek is scoring runs at an average of 52.12 and strike rate of 209.36. Abhishek has so far managed to hit 40 fours and 31 sixes. However, Heinrich Klaasen, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad, has also scored 414 runs in 9 matches. He has hit 32 fours and 18 sixes. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the third batsman to score 400 runs. He has touched the mark of 400 after playing 9 matches. He has 34 fours and 37 sixes in his name.
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are not far behind
If we talk further after these top 3 batsmen, KL Rahul has scored 358 runs after playing 8 matches. Virat Kohli has 351 runs in his name in 8 matches. That means if seen overall, now all the teams have played seven to nine matches. Now this competition will become even more interesting in the coming days. Any day any batsman can go ahead by playing a big innings.
Ishaan Maling won the Purple Cap race
Meanwhile, if we talk about Purple Cap, here too Sunrisers Hyderabad is dominant. Ishan Malinga has captured the number one position by taking 15 wickets in 9 matches. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Joffra Archer and Anshul Kamboj have taken equal 14 wickets. Prince Yadav and Kagiso Rabada have equal 13 wickets. An interesting battle is going on here too.
