In the changing environment known as IPL 2025, the Orange Cap has quickly become the ultimate musical chairs. It is on the head of Virat Kohli one moment and snugly fits Sai Sudharsan the next. The latest development? Sai Sudharsan has stolen the Orange Cap right off the head of Kohli and the cricketing circles are buzzing.
Sai Sudharsan: The New Run Machine
Sai Sudharsan, the southpaw from the Gujarat Titans has been a surprise this year. The left-handed batter scored a calm 39 runs off 30 balls against the Rajasthan Royals and bumped up his total runs to 456, surpassing Kohli’s 443 to take the Orange Cap away from him. In doing so, it cemented his place as one of the more consistent batters this IPL season.
Orange Cap Race: Tight Race
The top run-scorers in the IPL 2025 are now in a race to the finish as follows:
- Sai Sudharsan( GT) – 456 runs
- Virat Kohli ( RCB) – 443 runs
- Suryakumar Yadav ( MI) – 427 runs
- Yashasvi Jaiswal ( RR) – 426 runs
- Jos Buttler ( GT) – 406 runs
With such close margins, the Orange Cap could change hands multiple times in the remaining matches of the season.
What’s Next?
With the weeks to go in the league, the battle continues. Can Sudharsan hold the top spot, or will Kohli and others mount a challenge to get back up to first place? All get red hot this season.
