Following Mumbai Indians’ eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in Game 12 of IPL 2025, here’s a look at the updated Orange Cap and Purple Cap leaderboards.

🔶 Orange Cap – Top Run-Scorers

1. Nicholas Pooran (LSG) – 145 runs
   Pooran leads the pack with a blazing strike rate of 258.92 and an average of 72.50. His stand-out performances include 75 off 30 against Delhi Capitals and 70 off 26 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, making him the most explosive batter of the tournament so far.

2. B Sai Sudharsan (GT) – 137 runs
   While not as aggressive as Pooran, Sudharsan has been a pillar of consistency, scoring 137 runs in two innings at a solid strike rate of 167.07, placing him second on the table.

3. Travis Head (SRH) – 136 runs
   After an electric 67 against Rajasthan Royals and 47 versus LSG, Head added 22 runs against DC to climb to third spot. He’s been crucial at the top but was subdued by Mitchell Starc in the latest fixture.

🟣 Purple Cap – Top Wicket-Takers

1. Noor Ahmad (CSK) – 9 wickets
   Noor has emerged as a surprise package this season. The left-arm wristspinner has claimed 9 wickets in three games with figures of 4/18, 3/36, and 2/28 — outperforming even teammates R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja combined.

2. Mitchell Starc (DC) – 8 wickets
   Starc has made a thunderous impact, especially in his second match, where he recorded 5/35 against SRH — his best T20 performance. He has 8 wickets in just two games, including a fiery powerplay spell that dismantled SRH’s top order.

3. Shardul Thakur (LSG) & Khaleel Ahmed (CSK) – 6 wickets each
   Thakur’s best came with a 4/34 haul against SRH, while Khaleel impressed early with 3/29 against MI, taking the scalps of Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, and Suryakumar Yadav.
