Orange Cap Purple Cap IPL 2024: Every day a new name is added to Orange’s contention in the IPL. Even though Virat Kohli’s team RCB is not performing well in this year’s Indian Premier League, Kohli himself is in tremendous form. The second and third number batsmen keep changing, but Virat Kohli continues to occupy the number one position. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has staked his claim for the Orange Cap by playing a strong innings against Gujarat Titans. He has left many batsmen behind in one stroke.
Virat Kohli has scored the most runs
The highest run scorer in this season of IPL is Virat Kohli, who has scored 379 runs in 8 matches so far. Ruturaj Gaikwad is at second place, who has scored 349 runs in only 8 matches.

He batted brilliantly against Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Pant scored 88 runs on 43 balls. This included 8 sixes and 5 fours.
Sai Sudarshan and Travis Head went down

Sai Sudarshan remains at number four with 334 runs in 9 matches and Travis Head remains at number 5 with 324 runs in 6 matches. Today there is a match between ACB and SRH, in which Kohli and Head will get a chance to increase their runs.
