IPL 2019, Orange and Purple Caps, updated after RR vs RCB: Chahal clinches Purple Cap, Buttler, Parthiv, Gopal make their presence known

There was little change at the top of the run charts – David Warner and Jonny Bairstow continue to lead the list, with the Andre Russell, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson continuing to hold on to their places in the top five. 

Further down, however, Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler rose to No. 8 in the table, thanks to his 43-ball 59 against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday. It overshadowed the knock of Parthiv Patel earlier – his 41-ball 67 was the reason Bangalore set Rajasthan a 159-run target. While Bangalore still lost, Parthiv is now at No. 9 in the list.
