IPL 2025 Orange Cap, Purple Cap: Players With Most Runs and Most Wickets, FULL LISTS Here
IPL 2025 Orange Cap, Purple Cap: The IPL 2025 season is heating up like a summer bonfire, and the recent clash between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants only added fuel to the fire. Despite Hardik Pandya’s heroic all-round performance—snagging his first T20 five-wicket haul and smashing an unbeaten 28 off 16 balls—Mumbai Indians suffered their third loss in four games.
LSG’s total of 203, powered by Mitchell Marsh’s explosive 60 and Aiden Markram’s cool-headed 53, proved just enough. The real turning point? A sizzling spell from 25-year-old Digvesh Rathi, who conceded just 21 runs in four overs, applied the brakes right when MI was looking to launch. Suryakumar Yadav’s 67 and Naman Dhir’s fiery 46 weren’t enough, as Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan closed out the final overs with ice in their veins. LSG won by 12 runs in a nail-biter.
With the tournament in full swing, fans are already keeping one eye on the Orange Cap and Purple Cap races—where batters and bowlers fight their own little battles to top the charts. Let’s dive into who’s lighting up the scoreboard and who’s tearing it up with the ball.
