Orange Cap IPL 2024: Virat Kohli Sits At The Top Of The Standings

 Although the knock was not enough to hand precious 2 points to his team, it did take him to the top of the run-scoring chart. Kohli won this cap back in 2016, and he will be looking to repeat that incredible feat this season as well. The Orange Cap is given to the highest run-scorer, and many elite batsmen showcase their batting prowess to win this prestigious award.

Kohli is being followed by Heinrich Klaasen, who has scored 143 runs in just 2 innings, with Riyan Parag of Rajasthan Royals sitting at the no. 3 spot with 127 runs. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma complete the top 5 with 97 and 95 runs respectively.
