In cricket, few accolades are as coveted as the Orange Cap and Purple Cap in the Indian Premier League (IPL). This prestigious award is bestowed upon the tournament’s highest run-scorer, symbolizing batting excellence and consistency.
Virat Kohli, the talismanic captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), has once again stamped his authority with the bat. With an impressive tally of 379 runs in 8 games, Kohli leads the pack of top run-getters. His average of 90.25 and striking rate of 147.95 underscore his dominance on the field.
Travis Head, the dynamic left-handed batsman from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), has been a force to reckon with in the IPL 2024 season. Boasting 324 runs from 6 games at an astonishing average of 54.00 and a blistering strike rate of 216.00, Head has emerged as a nightmare for opposing bowlers.
Riyan Parag, the prodigious talent from Rajasthan Royals (RR), has been turning heads with his stellar performances. Parag has cemented his place as a key player in the Royals ‘ lineup by accumulating 318 runs at an impressive average of 63.6 and striking at a rate of 161.42.
