IPL Orange Cap: This season of IPL is now progressing rapidly. The teams which are leading in the points table are strengthening their claim in the playoffs, but those which are at the bottom want to stay in the race by winning their matches. Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad has taken another step towards the playoffs by defeating Lucknow Super Giants team. Now the race for the Orange Cap to be given to the batsman who scores the most runs in the Indian Premier League season has become even more interesting. RCB’s Virat Kohli still holds the number one position, but there has been a lot of turmoil down below.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is just one run behind Virat Kohli
The batsman who scored the most runs in IPL 2024 is Virat Kohli. So far, he has scored 542 runs in his name after playing 11 matches. So far he has four half-centuries and one century in his name.

Sunil Narayan remains at number 5
Now the big thing is that Sunil Narayan, who is playing for KKR. He remains at number 5. Sunil Narayan has grabbed the number 5 position leaving behind many big batsmen. Although there are still many more matches left, it is certain that more runs will be scored, not only this, the players who are currently on the bottom can reach the top. In such a situation, when the IPL ends, it will be interesting to see which batsman succeeds in capturing the Orange Cap this time.
