Priyansh Arya has broken into the top ten on the IPL 2025 Orange Cap table following a stellar performance in the Punjab Kings (PBKS) clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday night. Though the match ended without a result, Arya’s quick-fire 69 off 35 deliveries played a key role in altering the leader board just beneath the frontrunners.
Orange Cap Developments
Making an impact in his debut IPL season, Arya has consistently scored for PBKS, becoming the tenth player to surpass 300 runs this season. His current tally stands at 323 from nine innings, placing him at number nine. His teammate, Prabhsimran Singh, outshone him slightly with a 49-ball 83, elevating him to twelfth place with 292 runs.
Anticipation is high for Sunday’s fixtures, where the likes of Virat Kohli, Nicholas Pooran, and Suryakumar Yadav will be in action, potentially shaking up the rankings further. Monday’s match featuring table-topper B Sai Sudharsan will determine if he retains the Orange Cap after the weekend.
Reflecting on the performances, Anil Kumble praised Prabhsimran, saying, “We saw Prabhsimran’s maturity come through.”
Purple Cap Shifts
Recent dynamics have changed the Purple Cap table, with Prasidh Krishna and Josh Hazlewood now sharing the lead with 16 wickets each. Noor Ahmad and Harshal Patel follow closely. The upcoming MI vs LSG and DC vs RCB matches, featuring notable bowlers like Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, and Mitchell Starc, promise further shifts in rankings.
