Virat Kohli slips out of Top 5 in the Orange Cap race
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is one of the top performers this IPL 2025 season, but he has slipped slightly in the Orange Cap race. Before RCB’s previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Kohli was among the top 5 leading run scorers. However, that crucial game in Bengaluru was washed out due to rain, and he missed the chance to make progress in the table.
And the RCB had their next game after six days, and during that period, several other batters made the most of their opportunities, pushing Kohli down the table. But when RCB finally returned to the action on Friday, Kohli showed he was still in prime touch. He scored a brisk 43 off just 25 balls.
Sai Sudharsan leads the race for the Orange Cap
Given his consistent form and RCB’s place in the IPL 2025 playoffs, the former Indian captain remains a strong contender to rise again in the table. One more thing will be in his favor, as the fifth-placed Yashasvi Jaiswal of the Rajasthan Royals and fourth-placed Mitchell Marsh of the Lucknow Super Giants won’t be able to add to their tallies.
While RR have already played their 14 group matches, LSG has only one game remaining in the tournament, with both franchises already having been eliminated. Presently, Gujarat Titans’ opener B Sai Sudharsan (638 runs) is leading the table, followed by Shubman Gill (636 runs) and Suryakumar Yadav.
