\Monday night’s clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) not only shaped the IPL 2025 playoff picture — it also had a big impact on the Orange and Purple Cap leaderboards.
Let’s take a look at how the top run-scorers and wicket-takers stand ahead of the final league game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Orange Cap Update – SKY Shines, Kohli Eyes a Jump
Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) once again stood tall for MI, scoring a fluent 57 off 39 balls. That knock took him to 640 runs, placing him third on the Orange Cap table — just nine runs behind second-placed Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans (GT).
B Sai Sudharsan still leads the chart and looks poised to cross 700 runs for the season — a milestone no other batter has reached yet.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli — who sits at No. 6 — has a golden opportunity tonight against LSG to move up. He’s only 11 runs short of overtaking Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is currently No. 5 and has finished his season.
Also worth watching is Mitchell Marsh of LSG, who is 80 runs behind Suryakumar. With a big knock tonight, he could end his campaign on a high.
Top PBKS Batters:
- Shreyas Iyer: 514 runs (No. 9)
- Prabhsimran Singh: 499 runs (No. 11)
- Priyansh Arya: 424 runs (No. 15)
Their consistent team effort explains PBKS’s strong position in the top two.
Purple Cap Update – Arshdeep Rises, Hazlewood in the Mix
Arshdeep Singh was crucial in PBKS’s win over MI, picking up 2 for 28. He now has 18 wickets and climbs to No. 5 on the Purple Cap table.
MI’s Trent Boult, who could’ve moved higher, went wicketless and remains at 19 wickets (3rd place).
Noor Ahmad of CSK still leads the charts with 24 wickets, while GT’s Prasidh Krishna is close behind with 23.
RCB’s Josh Hazlewood, sitting just below Boult with 18 wickets, will also be in action tonight. A good outing could see him jump into the top three.
