The top 10 of the IPL 2024 Orange Cap list remained unchanged after the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday. KKR openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine, the only two players in the top 10 who played in the match, had a poor day at the office. Salt was dismissed after hitting a six, while Narine was dismissed for a golden duck by Purple Cap holder Jasprit Bumrah.
Gujarat Titans openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan made significant gains in the Orange Cap list in the last match. Sudharsan smashed his maiden IPL century and moved up to fourth place, while Gill re-entered the top 10 at number 10. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to close the gap with current Orange Cap leader Virat Kohli, who remains on top with 634 runs in 12 matches.
The top five run-scorers in the IPL 2024 Orange Cap list as of Saturday, May 13, 2024, are:
1. Virat Kohli (RCB) – 634 runs
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK) – 542 runs
3. Travis Head (SRH) – 533 runs
4. Sai Sudharsan (GT) – 527 runs
5. Sanju Samson (RR) – 471 runs
KKR beat MI by 18 runs to become the first team to qualify for playoffs in this edition. Batting first, KKR posted 157/7 in the rain-curtailed 16-overs-a-side contest, which proved to be enough as the KKR bowlers produced yet another fantastic performance.
