[ad_1]

Sunrisers Hyderabad duo of Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan displaced Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the top two spots in the updated Orange Cap list in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday against Rajasthan Royals. Klaasen, who started this game with 184 runs, added 40 runs off 26 balls to his tally to 224 runs, the highest in the tournament so far.

Klaasen’s captain at Sunrisers Hyderabad, Ishan Kishan, too made a huge jump in the race for IPL 2026 Orange Cap. Coming into the game with just 122 runs in four games, Kishan smashed 91 runs off 43 balls to move to 213 runs, thus occupying the second place in the list.

In the process, Rajasthan Royals sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi dropped to the third spot with 200 runs from four games. However, the 15-year-old didn’t add any to his tally, after the teenager was dismissed for a golden duck off the bowling of debutant Praful Hinge.

Just like Suryavanshi, his fellow teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal too failed miserably, falling for just one run off another debutant Sakib Hussain. Jaiswal is currently placed fifth in the table with 184 runs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar is placed fourth with 195 runs.

Meanwhile, in the Purple Cap list in IPL 2026, there wasn’t much change except Jofra Archer’s entry into the top five. The Englishman started the game with five wickets. The two wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad took him to the fourth spot with seven scalps to his name.

Gujarat Titans’ Prasidh Krishna continued to be atop the table with 10 wickets, followed by Rajasthan Royals spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who has nine. Chennai Super Kings’ Anshul Kamboj is third in the list with eight wickets. Lucknow Super Giants’ Prince Yadav completes the top five with six scalps.
