There is currently a huge fight going on in the IPL for the Orange and Purple Cap. After almost every match, it goes from one head to another, and new contenders also emerge. Talking about now, Abhishek Sharma has got the Orange Cap, but now Virat Kohli has also staked his claim again.

Abhishek Sharma currently holds the IPL Orange Cap.
There is a fierce battle going on for the Orange Cap in this year’s IPL also. So far there are only three batsmen who have touched the 400 mark. Virat Kohli is not in it, but he is definitely very close to it. He has once again presented his claim for this cap. Now only three players are left ahead of Virat Kohli. At number one is Abhishek Sharma, who has scored 425 runs in 9 matches. Heinrich Klaasen has scored 414 runs in 9 matches. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is at third position with 400 runs. After this comes Kohli’s turn.
Virat Kohli’s performance so far this season has been like this
Virat Kohli has so far scored 379 runs by playing 9 matches in this season’s IPL. Kohli has managed to score three half-centuries. Kohli is currently scoring runs at an average of 54.14 and strike rate of 165.50. He has 42 fours and 15 sixes in his name. It seems almost certain that RCB will be in the top 4. In such a situation, it is possible that Kohli may get a chance to play more matches than other players, due to which he will have more chances of winning the Orange Cap.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar captured the Purple Cap
Meanwhile, if we talk about Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he has gone ahead in the race for Purple Cap. He took three wickets in the match played against Gujarat Titans on Thursday. With this, he has now completed 17 wickets after playing 9 matches. Ishan Malinga is at second place with 15 wickets. Joffra Archer, Anshul Kamboj, Kagiso Rabada are tied with 14 wickets each. Any one of them can come forward again and become number one. Overall, this war seems to be getting more interesting in the coming days.
