Kolkata Knight Riders’ Andre Russell stands at the fourth position after his unbeaten half-century against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday.
In six matches so far, Warner has scored 349 runs, while KL Rahul stands at second place with 317 runs – thanks to his 100 run knock and fourth century of the season against Mumbai Indians – albeit in a losing cause.
Andre Russell who has been going hammer and tongs this season for Kolkata Knight Riders is fourth highest run scorer this season with fellow West Indian players Chris Gayle (KXIP) in fifth and Kieron Pollard (MI) in tenth place.
In a dreadful season for RCB where they’ve failed to win six in six, individual performances have been their saving grace with Virat Kohli scoring 203 runs and a best of 84. Even in the Purple Cap category, Yuzvendra Chahal has been in contention.
The Orange Cap is an annual cricket award given to the player who finishes the season of Indian Premier League as the leading run scorer. Throughout the tournament, the batsman who has the most runs gets to wear the cap while on the field. The batsman who finishes the tournament with the most runs wins the award. Last year, it was Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Kane Williamson who won the prize.
No player has won the cap in two consecutive seasons.
