David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, the Sunrisers Hyderabad duo, continued their reign atop the Orange cap table, but there was a bit of shuffle below them.

Shreyas Iyer displaced Andre Russell at No.3 after scoring a 50-ball 67 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Below Russell at No.4 was Virat Kohli, representing the lone positive for Bangalore this season. He’s in the top five after his 33-ball 41 on Sunday, April 7. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant’s 14-ball 18 was enough to lift him to No.6.
