Gujarat Titans are excelling as IPL 2025 Cap Leaders, sitting at No. 2 on the IPL 2025 points table and poised for a top-two finish following their recent victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Their Gujarat Titans’ dominating run is driven by exceptional players at the top of the charts: Prasidh Krishna, with 19 wickets, leads the Purple Cap standings, highlighting his bowling brilliance, and Sai Sudharsan, with 456 runs, leads the Orange Cap race, showcasing his batting prowess, keeping GT firmly in the playoff hunt.
As IPL 2025 Cap Leaders shine, Nicholas Pooran of LSG has struggled, posting low scores of 8, 11, 9, and 27 since his last half-century, fading in the Orange Cap race.Indian Batters’ Dominance has been demonstrated by the intense competition for the top spot between Indian stars B Sai Sudharsan (GT), Virat Kohli (RCB), and Suryakumar Yadav (MI).
With a 23-ball 48 against SRH, Sai Sudharsan, the least experienced player, regained the Orange Cap after briefly losing it. Despite Pooran’s slump in form, he became the first player to reach 500 runs in the IPL 2025 with this knock, reaching 504, which cemented Sai Sudharsan’s lead in the Orange Cap Race.
With intense competition at the top, it’s difficult for IPL 2025 Cap Leaders to hold onto the Orange Cap. Virat Kohli, who will play CSK on Saturday, is currently 61 runs behind Sai Sudharsan in fifth place. With recent scores of 73*, 70, and 51, Kohli’s Orange Cap Chase is picking up steam. If the weather holds, he could regain the lead with a significant blow to CSK, who are already eliminated because of their early exit from playoff contention.
Top-Order Domination of the Gujarat Titans
Three of the top five spots in the Orange Cap race are occupied by the Gujarat Titans’ hitters, who dominate the IPL 2025 Cap Leaders. With 475 runs, Suryakumar Yadav is in second place, demonstrating the Mumbai Indians’ run surge. The Gujarat Titans’ batting dominance is highlighted by the close third and fourth-place finishes of Jos Buttler (470 runs) and captain Shubman Gill (465 runs). There is intense competition for the top run-scorer title, as evidenced by Nicholas Pooran’s ranking drop to seventh place with 404 runs and Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal in sixth place with 439 runs.
Purple Cap table
Prasidh Krishna has reclaimed the top spot among IPL 2025 Cap Leaders, securing the Purple Cap with a stellar Player-of-the-Match performance of 2 for 19 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, boosting his season tally to 19 wickets. Josh Hazlewood, with 18 wickets, is hot on his heels and set to play Saturday night, eyeing Prasidh’s Purple Cap Surge. Hazlewood’s Close Chase keeps the race tight, promising more twists in the bowling charts.
In the Purple Cap Race, Trent Boult of the Mumbai Indians is in third place with 16 wickets, behind Noor Ahmad of the Chennai Super Kings, who has 15. With 14 wickets apiece, three bowlers—Khaleel Ahmed of CSK, Mohammed Siraj of Gujarat Titans, and Mitchell Starc of Delhi Capitals—are tied for fifth place, demonstrating the intense rivalry among the Top Wicket-Takers.
According to recent updates, bowlers like Boult and Siraj have made significant contributions to their teams’ campaigns, and the ESPNcricinfo MVP table reflects outstanding performances.
