IPL 2024 Orange Cap: Despite early dismissal, Virat Kohli still on top with Travis Head closing in
IPL 2024 Orange Cap Holder: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli was dismissed early in the chase against the Kolkata Knight Riders – a wicket that ignited his fury – but the former RCB skipper still leads the Orange Cap race with 379 runs, 55 more than Travis Head, who is second in the tally.
Head entered the fray for the top-run scorers of IPL 2024 following his quickfire 89 against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
Meanwhile also in the race are Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag, Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma and KKR’s Sunil Narine, who toppled KL Rahul to enter the top-five. Narine was also dismissed early in the game on Sunday at the Eden Gardens, for a measly 10 runs off 15 deliveries.
The veteran KKR all-rounder now has 286 runs from seven outings that include a century that he scored against the Rajasthan Royals’ earlier this week.
