Both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) suffered heavy losses in their respective matches on Sunday, resulting in notable shifts in the IPL 2025 Purple and Orange Cap leaderboards. Noor Ahmad ended his season on a high note by taking 3 for 21 in Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) final league game, finishing with 24 wickets from 14 matches and securing the top spot in the Purple Cap standings. He now leads by a single wicket over Prasidh Krishna of GT, who claimed 2 for 22 in the loss and has 23 wickets from 14 innings, but with GT still progressing to the playoffs, Prasidh has more opportunities to close the gap. Meanwhile, GT’s R Sai Kishore climbed to fifth place with 17 wickets after his 1 for 23 performance, while Varun Chakravarthy of KKR remained on 17 wickets but dropped to sixth after a wicketless, expensive spell conceding 54 runs in three overs during KKR’s 278-run capitulation against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Mumbai Indians’ Trent Boult and Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Josh Hazlewood hold third and fourth spots respectively, with 19 and 18 wickets. On the batting front, despite GT’s crushing 83-run defeat to CSK, openers B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill maintained their positions atop the Orange Cap leaderboard. Sudharsan, the top scorer for GT in the match with 41 off 28 balls, has amassed 679 runs in 14 matches, while Gill remains second with 649 runs despite a brief 13-ball innings. Trailing behind them are Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav, Lucknow Super Giants’ Mitchell Marsh, and Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal, who complete the top five. Virat Kohli of RCB sits sixth with 548 runs and is poised to climb higher with upcoming matches. These shifts highlight the ongoing intensity and unpredictability of IPL 2025 as teams jostle for key individual and team positions heading into the crucial final stages.
