IPL 2024 orange cap: Virat Kohli, purple cap: Harshal Patel

Virat Kohli is the highest run-scorer in the 2024 IPL. He finished the season on 741 runs after scoring 33 in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's defeat in the Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday. Kohli is over 170 runs clear of his closest challenger, Riyan Parag of Royals, who is at No. 3 with 567 runs and at least one match still to play. Between the two is Ruturaj Gaikwad, Chennai Super Kings' captain, who finished his season with 583 runs. In fourth place is Sunrisers Hyderabad's Travis Head, with 533 runs at 199.62.

Other players in the top ten who can add to their tally are Sanju Samson, the Royals captain, at No. 6 (521 runs); Sunil Narine, the Kolkata Knight Riders opener (482); and Abhishek Sharma of SRH (470).

Abhishek leads the way on strike rate among the top 20 run-makers, with 207.04 from 14 games, and has hit the most sixes, 41. Head has the second-best strike rate among the top 20, 199.62, and KKR's Phil Salt is third with 182. Jake Fraser-McGurk, ranked 28th among the run-scorers, has a strike rate of 234.04 from nine games.

Jos Buttler is the leading century-maker in this year's IPL, with two hundreds. Marcus Stoinis' 124 not out against CSK is the highest individual score of the season. Four batters among the top five run-scorers have made a hundred apiece, and so have Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans, Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma of Mumbai Indians, Narine, Will Jacks of RCB, Yashasvi Jaiswal of Royals, and Jonny Bairstow of Punjab Kings. Kohli, Samson and RCB's Rajat Patidar lead in terms of half-centuries, with five each; Faf du Plessis, Gaikwad, Head, Parag, Rahul, Salt and Fraser-McGurk have made four fifties each.

Here's the full list of the highest run-scorers in the 2024 IPL.

Punjab Kings seamer Harshal Patel is on top of the highest wicket-takers' list in the 2024 IPL, with 24 wickets at an economy of 9.73. He took 2 for 49 in his team's defeat to Sunrisers on Sunday.

Jasprit Bumrah of Mumbai Indians is second, with 20 wickets at the stellar economy of 6.48. In third place is KKR legspinner Varun Chakravarthy, also with 20 wickets but at an economy of 8.18, followed by PBKS' Arshdeep Singh with 19 wickets from 14 matches.

Chakravarthy, T Natarajan of SRH, and Yuzvendra Chahal are the three bowlers in the top ten who have at least one game remaining in which to improve their wickets count.

Chahal, who held the purple cap for a significant period earlier in the season before falling out of the top ten is back up to No. 6; he took one wicket in the Eliminator against RCB.

Four bowlers are on 17 wickets apiece: KKR's Harshit Rana, Delhi Capitals seamers Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed, and Tushar Deshpande of CSK. Six bowlers are on 16 wickets each, led by Andre Russell and Narine of KKR.

Three bowlers have taken five-fors so far this season - Bumrah, Yash Thakur of LSG, and Sandeep Sharma of Royals. Ten bowlers - Kuldeep Yadav, Natarajan, Mustafizur Rahman, Arshdeep, Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana, Gerald Coetzee, R Sai Kishore, Mitchell Starc and Josh Little - have taken four in an innings.

Only four spinners feature in the top 20: Chahal, Kuldeep of DC, Narine, and Chakravarthy.

Narine has the second-best economy rate after Bumrah among the top 20 wicket-takers, 6.90, and Chakravarthy the third best, 8.18.
