Sai Sudharsan tops the IPL 2025 Orange Cap race with 759 runs. Can Virat Kohli or Suryakumar Yadav snatch the title? Showdown awaits. Read the thrilling chase.
Sai Sudharsan’s Epic Runfest Steals the Spotlight
IPL 2025, an unexpected hero in the face of challenges — Trinidad and Tobago’s Sai Sudharsan, who has been a lifetime impressing with an outstanding return of 759 runs in only 15 matches of the PL season. Batsman Sudharsan not only scored but also created history as he walked through the season at a 156.17 strike rate and an average of 54.21. He has now become India’s youngest player to cross 700 runs in a single IPL season with five fifties and one not-out ton. Sai is the Orange Cap leader or nearly there, Gujarat has now dropped out of the trophy race.
The King Still Hunts: Kohli’s Final Frontier
But still, the hunt is on: as runs are involved nothing comes to Virat Kohli’s mind. RCB talisman is 145 runs away from Sudharsan’s surpassing total with 614 runs after 14 matches. That consistently averaged the healthiest of 55.82 along with a decent strike rate of 146.54. Royal Challengers Bangalore will lock horns in the decider, and for the one last time, Kohli has a hefty golden arrow to aim at — a 146-run inning. Possible? Not quite. But if anyone can it would be him.

SKY’s the Limit: Suryakumar Eyes His Shot at Glory
Mumbai Indians Magician Suryakumar Yadav (on the other hand) might or might just have the odds in his favor. SKY is only 87 runs away from overtaking the number 1 spot (currently 673 runs from 15 games). SKY: His bat has been a charmed one this season with an average strike rate of 167.83 and a very average of about 67.30. If Mumbai wins Qualifier 2 and storms past Punjab Kings to the final, Suryakumar can get two ahead of Sai. This time, for SKY it is not a mere chase it is a declaration.
