Who is the orange cap holder in the 2024 IPL?

Virat Kohli is the first player to score 500 runs in IPL 2024. He remains the league's top run-scorer this season after scoring an unbeaten 70 off 44 balls in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's nine-wicket win over Gujarat Titans on Sunday.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Chennai Super Kings captain, who scored 98 in a big win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday is in second place on the table with 447 runs from nine games.
At No. 3 is Titans' Sai Sudharsan, who made 84 not out in the defeat to RCB, with 418 runs from ten matches.
Rishabh Pant, the Delhi Capitals captain, is fourth with 398 from 11 matches, and Phil Salt, the Kolkata Knight Riders opener, who made 68 off 33 in his side's big win over Delhi Capitals on Monday night, follows in fifth with 392.
Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan Royals captain, is at No. 6, with 385 runs, and Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul is next with 378.
KKR opener Sunil Narine didn't add much to his tally on Monday night, but his 372 runs place him eighth.
CSK's Shivam Dube and Travis Head of Sunrisers Hyderabad complete the top ten.
Among the top 20 run-makers, two Sunrisers batters lead the way in terms of strike rate - Abhishek Sharma has the best, 214.89. Head follows close on his heels with 211.25. Jake Fraser-McGurk, outside the top 20, has the extraordinary strike rate of 233.33; he has made 259 runs from six innings this season.
Jos Buttler is the leading century-maker in this year's IPL, with two hundreds. Marcus Stoinis' 124 not out against CSK is the highest individual score of the season. Jonny Bairstow, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Narine, Gaikwad, Kohli and Head are the other batters to have scored hundreds this IPL. Kohli, Salt and Samson have made four fifties each; ten batters have three fifties.

Who is the purple cap holder in the 2024 IPL?

Jasprit Bumrah of Mumbai Indians continues to be No. 1 on the wicket-takers' list for IPL 2024. He has taken 14 wickets from nine games, the same as CSK's Mustafizur Rahman (eight matches) and Punjab Kings seamer Harshal Patel, but his economy of 6.63 is lower than the other two.
In fourth place with 13 wickets from only six games is CSK fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana, who took 2 for 17 in the 78-run win over Sunrisers on Sunday. Three other bowlers have taken 13 wickets each - SRH's T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar of Delhi Capitals, and Yuzvendra Chahal of Rajasthan Royals, who this season became the first bowler in the history of the IPL to take 200 wickets.
Five bowlers are on 12 wickets apiece: Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed of DC, Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh of PBKS, and Gerald Coetzee of MI.
Only three bowlers have taken five-fors so far this season - Bumrah, Yash Thakur of Lucknow Super Giants, and Sandeep Sharma of Royals. Eight bowlers - Pathirana, Kuldeep, Natarajan, Mustafizur, Arshdeep, Coetzee, Tushar Deshpande and R Sai Kishore of Titans - have taken four in an innings.
Chahal, Kuldeep, Narine and Varun Chakravarthy of KKR, who took 3 for 16 in the win over DC on Monday, are the only spinners among the top 20 most successful bowlers in the 2024 IPL. Narine has the second-best economy rate after Bumrah among the top 20 wicket-takers, 6.86, and Pathirana the third best, with 7.68.
