Klaasen Leads Orange Cap, Kamboj Tops Purple as IPL 2026 Heats Up

The individual races are getting interesting.

Heinrich Klaasen leads the IPL 2026 Orange Cap with 283 runs, nudging ahead of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who sits just behind on 246. The 15-year-old Rajasthan Royals sensation had briefly grabbed the top spot earlier in the tournament — and at his age, just being in that conversation is remarkable.

With the ball, CSK’s Anshul Kamboj owns the Purple Cap after a three-wicket haul against Sunrisers Hyderabad pushed him to 13 wickets. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has climbed to third.

Twenty-nine matches in. Six weeks of cricket still to go. Nothing is settled.
