There's an unlikely name at No. 4 on the Orange Cap list after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) went down tamely to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday night in IPL 2025. Here's a look at how things stand.
No change in the top three here, but guess who's at No. 4? In a low-scoring game at Chepauk, Ajinkya Rahane scored 20 not out from 17 balls to finish off KKR's chase, and that made him the fifth batter to cross the 200-run mark this season.
Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is still going strong at the top, followed by B Sai Sudharsan of Gujarat Titans, with Pooran's LSG mate, Mitchell Marsh, who has four fifties in five innings, in this place.
GT's Jos Buttler, who has 203 runs, is the fifth 200-plus batter at the moment. Not far behind them, all with over 180 runs, are Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and KL Rahul.
Noor Ahmad, after picking up nine wickets in his first three games of the season, has slowed down, picking up one wicket in each of his last three outings. Enough, still, to keep him two clear at the top.
He is followed by four bowlers who all have ten wickets - MI captain Hardik Pandya, CSK's Khaleel Ahmed, and the GT duo of R Sai Kishore and Mohammed Siraj.
