Last Saturday, Vaibhav Suryavanshi captured the Orange Cap after scoring 103 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, in subsequent matches, batsmen continued to surpass him. Before the match against Punjab Kings, Vaibhav had scored 357 runs in eight innings. Since his 43 against Punjab, he has now reached 400 runs in nine innings.

In second place in the Orange Cap race is Sunrisers Hyderabad's Abhishek Sharma, who currently has 380 runs.

Heinrich Klaasen completes the top-5 list, having scored 349 runs in eight matches for SRH.

• 380 runs - Abhishek Sharma (SRH)
• 358 runs - KL Rahul (DC)
• 351 runs - Virat Kohli (RCB)
• 349 runs - Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)

Looking at the statistics, Virat Kohli has the best average among the top 5 batsmen. He has scored 351 runs at an impressive average of 58.50. Kohli appears to be lagging far behind in this list. Currently, he is 49 runs behind Vaibhav, so if he wants to regain the Orange Cap, he will have to score at least a fifty in his next match.
