The race for the Orange and Purple Caps in IPL 2026 is becoming increasingly intriguing. Following the two matches played on Sunday—April 26—shifts have been observed in the rankings for both batsmen and bowlers. Riding on a stellar performance, Gujarat captain Shubman Gill has overtaken Virat Kohli to secure a spot in the top five, while in the bowling department, CSK pacer Anshul Kamboj has claimed the Purple Cap.
Gill Enters the Top 5 of the Orange Cap Race
The IPL 2026 Orange Cap is currently held by Sunrisers Hyderabad's young opener, Abhishek Sharma, who has amassed the highest run tally (380) so far. While there were no changes within the top four, a significant reshuffle occurred at the fifth spot. Shubman Gill has now taken the place previously occupied by Virat Kohli. Gill currently sits at the fifth position in the Orange Cap standings with 330 runs, while Kohli follows in sixth place with 328 runs.
Who Holds the Purple Cap?
The race for the IPL 2026 Purple Cap has witnessed considerable upheaval this time around. Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Anshul Kamboj has surged to the number one spot with 14 wickets. He has overtaken Ishan Malinga, although both bowlers are tied on the wicket count. Prince Yadav has made his entry into the top five, while Jofra Archer holds the third position. Kagiso Rabada also features in the list with 13 wickets.
Further Changes Expected Today
A match is scheduled to be played today between the Delhi Capitals and RCB at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. Following this match, significant changes could once again be witnessed in both the Orange and Purple Cap races. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli; if his bat fires today, he could not only make a comeback into the top five but potentially even reach the number one spot. Similarly, this match will be crucial for the bowlers, as they will need to deliver exceptional performances to secure a foothold in the Purple Cap race.
