The IPL 2024 league stage has come to an end with Virat Kohli leading the way in the Orange Cap standings. Harshal Patel currently tops the Purple Cap standings.
In Short
- Kohli leads the way in Orange Cap standings with 708 runs
- Harshal Patel has picked up 24 wickets in 14 matches
- Abhishek Sharma hit the most number of sixes in league phase
The IPL 2024 league stage has come to an end with May 19 being the final day of action, which had two matches in store for the fans. While the first match was a high-scoring affair between SRH and PBKS, the RR vs KKR game was completely washed out despite toss for a 7 over per side game happening.
With KKR finishing at the top of the table, SRH's win against Punjab helped them leapfrog RR to the second spot. This means that Qualifier 1 on May 21 will be KKR vs SRH while the Eliminator will see RR face the resurgent RCB side. With the end of the league stages, we also take a look at the people who have dominated the standings when it comes to the Orange Cap, Purple Cap, most sixes and most fours during the first phase.
Orange Cap
In what has been his second-best IPL season, Virat Kohli is the leader of the pack when it comes to the Orange Cap standings. Kohli has scored 708 runs in 14 matches at an average of 64.36.
