IPL 2019, Orange and Purple Caps, updated after DC vs SRH: Bairstow closes down on Warner in Orange Cap race

David Warner scored just 10 against Delhi Daredevils at Feroz Shah Kotla, but that was enough for him to retain the Orange Cap in IPL 2019. However, Warner’s failure allowed his Sunrisers Hyderabad opening partner Jonny Bairstow (48 in 28 balls) to come within 18 runs of Warner’s score.

Delhi came into this tournament with a solid top four, all of them Indians. They now occupy positions 5 – 8 on the list of run-scorers.
