There's a new entrant in the top three of the IPL 2025 Purple Cap list following the Sunday double-header. Here's how things stand on that list, as well as the Orange Cap list, after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Arshdeep Singh's superb spell against LSG has taken him to third place on the Purple Cap table. He registered figures of 3 for 16 from his four overs to help PBKS seal a 37-run win in Dharamsala, and now has 16 wickets in ten bowling innings this season.
Gujarat Titans' (GT) Prasidh Krishna continues to lead the table with 19 wickets from ten innings, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) Josh Hazlewood is second with 18 wickets from the same number of outings.
There are two other players on 16 wickets along with Arshdeep - Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) Noor Ahmad and Mumbai Indians' (MI) Trent Boult. But Arshdeep remains above them because of his superior average and economy rate.
Another player to move up the Purple Cap table after the double-header was KKR's Varun Chakravarthy, who is now on 15 wickets following his 2 for 32 against RR.
While the top three on the Orange Cap leaderboard remain unchanged from Saturday, there's a new name in fourth position. RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has moved to just behind the top three with 473 runs from 12 innings following his 34 off 21 balls against KKR.
RCB's Virat Kohli leads the list with 505 runs from 11 innings, and GT's B Sai Sudharsan is second, just one run behind Kohli from one fewer innings. MI's Suryakumar Yadav is at No. 3 with 475 runs.
Another player to have made some gains is PBKS opener Prabhsimran Singh, who went past Nicholas Pooran to move to No. 7. His 91 off 48 balls took his tally to 437 runs in 11 games. LSG's Pooran, who was on top of the batting charts for the best part of in the first half of the tournament, has fallen behind after average returns in the last few games and is now at No. 8.
Jos Buttler (GT, 470 runs), Shubman Gill (GT, 465 runs) are fifth and sixth on this table, respectively.
