IPL 2024 Orange Cap: Virat Kohli To Shivam Dube, Check Out The Top Run Scorers After CSK vs GT Match

With another blockbuster clash in the IPL 2024 season won by the home team, there have been a number of changes to the run-scorers list, most notably the inclusion of Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra, who starred in the Chennai Super Kings win against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday. Here's a list of top run-scorers during IPL 2024 so far: Virat Kohli tops the run-scorers list with 98 runs, while Sam Curran follows with 86 runs. Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra have been phenomenal for CSK, scoring 85 and 83 runs, respectively. Sanju Samson stands out with 82 runs for Rajasthan Royals. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 8 of the IPL 2024 season at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, on March 27, 2024. In the ongoing tournament, both teams lost their first match of IPL 2024, so they would like to get to winning ways.

The leading run-scorer in the Indian Premier League every season is awarded the Orange Cap. Virat Kohli's 77 runs against Punjab Kings lifted him to the top of the list in IPL 2024. Earlier in the game, Sam Curran scored 23 runs to pip Sanju Samson and take second place. Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra starred in Chennai Super Kings' batting effort against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday to grab second and third place, respectively.

Here's a look at the top 5 run-scorers during IPL 2024 so far:

1. Virat Kohli (RCB):

The former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain's knock of 77 runs against Punjab Kings helped him don the Orange Cap as the leading run-scorer of the tournament. The experienced batsman has scored 98 runs in two matches with an average of 49 and a strike rate of 142.

2. Sam Curran (PBKS):

Punjab Kings' Sam Curran also remains second on the IPL run-scoring list, with 86 runs in two matches so far at an average of 43 and a strike rate of 134.37.

3. Shivam Dube (CSK):

The stylish Chennai Super Kings all-rounder has been in sensational form this season and was the pick of the CSK batting line-up on Tuesday. He scored 51 runs off just 23 deliveries to help his side post a massive total of 206, which eventually proved too much for the Gujarat Titans. Shivam Dube has scored 85 runs in the two IPL matches so far, averaging 85 at an impressive strike rate of 166.66.

4. Rachin Ravindra (CSK):

Indian fans were eager to see how Rachin Ravindra would perform at the top of the order for Chennai Super Kings, especially after the left-hander showed his class during the ODI World Cup 2023 late last year. The New Zealand all-rounder hasn't disappointed with his performances in the 2 IPL matches so far, scoring 83 runs at an average of 41.50 and a staggering strike rate of 237.14. Ravindra has been instrumental in giving CSK an aggressive start at the top of the order.

5. Sanju Samson (RR):

Despite the changes, the Rajasthan Royals captain has maintained his place at the top of the IPL run-scoring charts with a brilliant 82-run knock in the only game against Lucknow Super Giants. With the next game scheduled for Thursday, Sanju Samson will have a good chance of stealing Virat Kohli's orange cap. Klaasen, Bumrah will be in the spotlight as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 8 of the IPL 2024 season at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, on March 27, 2024.
