IPL 2025 Orange and Purple Cap Standings: Kuldeep Climbs to Third Spot

IPL 2025 Orange and Purple Cap Standings: Kuldeep Breaks into Top Three

After Sunday’s double-header, the Orange and Purple Cap leaderboards saw some key movements, with Kuldeep Yadav emerging as the standout among bowlers.

Orange Cap – Top Run-Getters

The top three run-scorers remain unchanged:

1. Nicholas Pooran (LSG) – 349 runs in 6 innings

2. B Sai Sudharsan (GT) – 329 runs

3. Mitchell Marsh (DC) – 265 runs, despite missing the last game

Outside the top three, several players have made strides.

• Virat Kohli (RCB) rose to fifth place after an unbeaten 62 off 45 balls against RR, bringing his tally to 248 — just two runs behind Shreyas Iyer (250).

• Suryakumar Yadav (MI) moved up with a quickfire 40 off 28 balls, taking his total to 239 runs.

A total of 14 batters have now crossed the 200-run mark this season.

Purple Cap – Leading Wicket-Takers

While Noor Ahmad and Shardul Thakur continue to hold the top two spots, Kuldeep Yadav has climbed to third after his impressive outing on Sunday.

Kuldeep was the pick of DC’s bowlers in the match against MI, returning 2 for 17 at an economy of 5.75. With 10 wickets to his name and a stellar economy rate of 5.60, he now edges out others on the same wicket tally — including Hardik Pandya, Prasidh Krishna, R Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, and Khaleel Ahmed.

Notably, Hardik went wicketless for the first time this season, missing a chance to move up.
