IPL 2025 Orange and Purple Cap standings: Starc misses opportunity to claim top spot

IPL 2025 Orange and Purple Cap Leaderboards After DC vs RCB: Starc Misses Chance to Climb, Rahul Breaks Into Top 10

Here's how the top scorers and wicket-takers stack up following Delhi Capitals’ six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday night.

🏏 Orange Cap (Top Run-Getters)

Despite back-to-back standout knocks of 77 and an unbeaten 93, KL Rahul finds himself in 8th place with 185 runs so far in IPL 2025.

There’s no change at the top after Match 24, with four batters having crossed the 200-run mark:

1. Nicholas Pooran (LSG) – Continues to hold on to the Orange Cap.

2. B Sai Sudharsan (GT) – Climbed to second after a match-winning 82 off 53 balls vs RR.

3. Mitchell Marsh (LSG) – Four fifties in five innings have propelled him to 265 runs.

4. Jos Buttler (GT) – His recent 36 took him past the 200-run mark as well.

🎯 Purple Cap (Top Wicket-Takers)

Mitchell Starc, who came into the RCB-DC match with nine wickets, had a forgettable outing, conceding 30 in one over and finishing wicketless (0/35 in 3). As a result, he missed out on moving up the Purple Cap standings.

The leaderboard remains unchanged:

1. Noor Ahmad (CSK) – 11 wickets in 5 matches keeps him in front.

   1. Hardik Pandya (MI) – 10 wickets

2. Khaleel Ahmed (CSK) – 10 wickets

3. R Sai Kishore (GT) – 10 wickets

4. Mohammed Siraj (GT) – 10 wickets

Just behind:

• Mitchell Starc (KKR) – 9 wickets

• Shardul Thakur (PBKS) – 9 wickets

More movement is expected as the weekend fixtures roll in.
