Orange Cap and Purple Cap Holder List in IPL 2026: The excitement of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is at its peak. At present, every team is focused on making it to the playoffs and this race is becoming very tough. But apart from the playoffs, there is no less excitement in the race for most runs (Orange Cap) and most wickets (Purple Cap). In this race, along with experienced players, young faces have also made their mark and are making strong claims. However, after the clash between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, there was no major change on both these fronts.
Rahul lost the chance to become number-1

This is where Delhi Capitals' star opener KL Rahul missed a big opportunity. In the match against Kolkata, he could score only 23 runs, due to which the chance of reaching the first position was lost for the time being. Rahul is still at third place with 468 runs.
Sunrisers' Heinrich Klaasen remains at the top of the list with 494 runs. Just behind him is Hyderabad's opener Abhishek Sharma (475 runs). SRH's Ishan Kishan is at fourth place with 409 runs and Rajasthan's young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi (404) is at fifth place.

Kolkata fast bowler Karthik Tyagi definitely improved his position by taking 2 wickets. He has entered the top-10 with 13 wickets and is now at 7th position.
But Royal Challengers Bangalore's experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar is still leading with 17 wickets. Just behind him is Anshul Kamboj of Chennai Super Kings, who also has 17 wickets in his name. The difference is that Bhuvneshv's economy rate is better, that is why he is at number-1. Prince Yadav of Lucknow Super Giants and Kagiso Rabada of Gujarat Titans are at third and fourth position with 16 wickets each.
