These crowns are like golden stars bestowed upon the top tournament players. ? Let's discover the race leader for this year!

The Orange Cap?

The Orange Cap goes to the IPL player with the most runs count. Runs are the points you score from striking the ball and sprinting between the wickets. This cap thus serves as a reward for the best batter!

Nicholas Pooran: Currently Top Run-Getter

Currently, Nicholas Pooran from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is the main boss of batting. In hardly a few games, he has 189 runs! ?

Against Delhi Capitals, he made 75 runs from just 30 balls—that's really fast!
Then he attacked Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) 70 runs from 26 balls.
He also lately 44 runs against the Punjab Kings.

With an average of 63.00 and a strike rate of 219.76, Pooran strikes the ball really fast and generates lots of quick runs. Currently possessing the Orange Cap is him! ?

Just 3 Runs Behind - B Sai Sudharsan!

Second placed B Sai Sudharsan from Gujarat Titans (GT). He is only 3 runs behind Pooran, yet 186 runs thus far. ?

He struck 74 runs, then 63, and most recently 49 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
He is playing rather brilliantly and might have the Orange Cap very soon! ?

Strong at Number Three – Jos Buttler

At number three with 166 runs, another GT player is Jos Buttler.
He made a really amazing 73 not out from 39 balls to support his team in winning a game.
He is batting like a champion; his strike rate is 172.91! ?

These three hitters thus rank among the best prospects for the Orange Cap. Let's clap for them here.

The Purple Cap:

Let us now discuss the Purple Cap! The bowler with the most wickets gets this cap. A wicket is the outcome of the bowler removing the batter. This cap is, therefore, a gift for the best bowler!

Noor Ahmad – The Magical Spinner

Topmost is Noor Ahmad from Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He's a left-arm wrist spinner and he's working like a magician! ?

In one game, he took 4 wickets for just 18 runs.
He then picked 3 wickets for 36 runs, then 2 for 28.
That comes to 9 wickets overall!

? He is improving more than even his well-known colleagues R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja combined!

Mitchell Starc: Fast and Furious - Quick!

Mitchell Starc from Delhi Capitals (DC) is right behind Noor.

Out of just two games, he has 8 wickets!
Though he dropped 42 runs, his debut match yielded 3 wickets.
However, he was amazing in the next game, 5 wickets for 35 runs - his best in T20 cricket! ?

Watch out, Noor; Starc is catching up!

Six-Way Tie for Third Place!
