In the ongoing IPL 2024 season, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has made a strong comeback in the Orange Cap race after his unbeaten knock against Mumbai Indians on Monday in Jaipur. With his 38-run contribution, Samson has climbed to the fourth position, surpassing MI’s Rohit Sharma.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli, despite a disappointing dismissal early in the chase against the Kolkata Knight Riders, continues to top the Orange Cap standings with 379 runs. Travis Head, with 324 runs, maintains his second position after his quickfire 89 against Delhi Capitals on Saturday.
The IPL Orange Cap is awarded to the player with the most runs scored during the season. Last year’s Orange Cap was secured by current Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill with an impressive tally of 890 runs. The battle for the Orange Cap this season promises to be equally exciting with several players in contention.
