IPL 2019, Orange and Purple Caps, updated after KKR vs RR: Rahane enters top 10

The big news after the latest IPL 2019 match – between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders – was that Ajinkya Rahane, the former Rajasthan captain, has entered the top 10.

Rahane’s 34 against Kolkata took him to 352 runs – mostly thanks to his century against Delhi Capitals the game before – and he is played just behind ninth-placed Quinton de Kock, who has 378. Andre Russell, at No. 6 with 406 runs, was the only other representative from last night’s encounter in the batting charts, with Kolkata losing a sixth straight match.

David Warner continues to lead the run charts with 574 runs – the only player so far to breach the 500-run mark.

Quinton de Kock	Mumbai Indians	378	137.45	15
Ajinkya Rahane	Rajasthan Royals	352	142.51	8

Kolkata’s plight was even more evident among the bowlers – they don’t have a single representative in the top ten. Rajasthan, however, have two – Shreyas Gopal, who returned 1/31, is at No. 6 with 13 wickets, and Jofra Archer, who went wicketless, completed the top ten with 11 scalps.

Delhi’s Kagiso Rabada remains the runaway leader among wicket-takers with 23 wickets – Imran Tahir, at No. 2, has 16.
