Many players had a chance to reach the top-5 in the matches held on Sunday. But players like Chennai's Malayalam player Sanju Samson, Mumbai's Ryan Rickleton, RCB's Virat Kohli and Lucknow's Mitchell Marsh failed to play big innings. For this reason, Klaasen's reign continued.

Sanju had made a strong start against Lucknow. He scored 28 runs in 14 balls with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes, but was out again. With this innings, Sanju (430 runs) pushed Hyderabad's Ishan Kishan (409 runs) to eighth position and himself came to seventh position. This was the only major change in the top-10.

Now if we look at the list, Gujarat's Sai Sudarshan is at sixth position with 440 runs and Rajasthan's Vaibhav Suryavanshi is at fifth position with the same number of runs. Gujarat captain Shubman Gill (462 runs) is at fourth place and Delhi Capitals' KL Rahul (468 runs) is at third place. Mumbai Indians' Ryan Rickleton, who was out after scoring just 2 runs against RCB, remains at ninth position with 382 runs. At the same time, despite being out on a golden duck against Mumbai, Virat Kohli managed to save his place in the top-10 with 379 runs.

Lucknow opener Mitchell Marsh also had a chance to be in the top-10, but he was out after scoring 10 runs against Chennai. Marsh is still in 12th place with 377 runs. In today's matches, Punjab Kings' Cooper Connolly (11th position, 377 runs) and Prabhsimran Singh (13th position, 364 runs) will have a chance to make it to the top-10. At the same time, Delhi's KL Rahul (468 runs), who is at number three, also has a great opportunity to surpass Klaasen and get the Orange Cap today.
