IPL 2025 Orange and Purple Cap Standings: Khaleel Narrows the Gap on Noor Ahmad

IPL 2025 Orange and Purple Cap Standings: Pooran Holds Firm, Khaleel Closes In on Noor

With more batters crossing the 200-run milestone and several bowlers hitting double-digit wicket tallies, the race for the Orange and Purple Caps is heating up as IPL 2025 rolls past its halfway mark. Here’s a look at the updated leaderboards following Chennai Super Kings’ five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants on Monday night.

🟠 Orange Cap Leaderboard

Fourteen batters have now crossed the 200-run mark, with several more not far behind. But at the top, it's still the same trio leading the charge — and by some distance.

• Nicholas Pooran remains the frontrunner with 357 runs, despite a rare failure against CSK.

• B Sai Sudharsan is close behind on 329 runs, continuing his excellent form.

• Mitchell Marsh follows with 295 runs, just a big knock away from joining the 300 club.

The chasing pack is gaining ground, though. Shreyas Iyer has crossed 250 runs, while Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav are not far behind. Others in contention include Jos Buttler, Travis Head, Tilak Varma, Phil Salt, Shubman Gill, Aiden Markram, Ajinkya Rahane, and KL Rahul — all within striking distance if they find form.

Pooran and Sudharsan might be comfortably ahead for now, but with the competition tightening, a few explosive innings could quickly reshuffle the top spots.

🟣 Purple Cap Leaderboard

Noor Ahmad may have gone wicketless for the first time this season, returning figures of 4-0-13-0 against LSG, but his economical spell was still one of the game’s standout performances. With 12 wickets, he retains the Purple Cap — though just barely.

Hot on his heels are:

• Khaleel Ahmed, who picked up one wicket against LSG to move to 11 wickets

• Shardul Thakur, also on 11 wickets, though he missed the chance to overtake Noor after going wicketless in the same match

Just behind them, a group of bowlers sit on 10 wickets, including Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Prasidh Krishna, R Sai Kishore, and Mohammed Siraj.

As the tournament rolls on, the race for the Purple Cap looks wide open, with just a single game potentially flipping the standings.
