IPL 2019, Orange and Purple Caps, updated after DC vs CSK: Chennai bowlers occupy top four spots

IPL 2019 12 Orange Purple Cap Dwayne Bravo Imran Tahir Harbhajan Singh Ravindra Jadeja

Both Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan went past David Warner in the top run-scorers list of IPL 2019, albeit having played a match more. Pant’s quickfire 13-ball 25 made him the first batsman of the season to reach three figures. Dhawan, too, scored 51, and is now only 6 short of 100.

Among others to have featured yesterday, Colin Ingram and Suresh Raina are both tied at eighth spot with Andre Russell in terms of runs, though Russell’s strike rate is significantly more than the other two.

Here is the list of the top run-getters.

The wicket of Shreyas Iyer was Imran Tahir‘s fourth of the tournament. He would have led the chart on his own, had Dwayne Bravo not taken 3/33 (all three of Dhawan, Pant, Ingram) to draw level. However, Tahir has a superior economy rate.

Of the bowlers tied on 3 wickets, Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh have the best economy rates, which means Chennai occupy the top four spots.
