KL Rahul‘s unbeaten 64-ball 100 against Mumbai Indians helped him storm past Andre Russell (257 runs) and Jonny Bairstow (263). With 317 runs, Rahul occupies second spot in the list of run-getters. He is 32 behind David Warner, the current holder of the Orange Cap in IPL 2019.

Mayank Agarwal’s absence held him back to eighth place, but Chris Gayle’s 36-ball 63 propelled him to fifth. And Kieron Pollard’s 31-ball 83 allowed Mumbai Indians to make an appearance in the top ten.
