Virat Kohli Likely To Win IPL 2024 Orange Cap
Even though RCB may have exited from IPL 2024, the right-handed batter is set to win Orange Cap for the season yet again. The right-handed batter finished the season with 741 runs from 15 innings at an average of 61.75 and a strike rate of 154.70.
Even though he will not be able to add to that tally with two more matches remaining in IPL 2024 as his team has already been knocked out, Riyan Parag and Travis Head of Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) respectively, the next on the list of leading run-scoers of the season whose teams are still alive in the title race are at 567 and 533 runs respectively and unless something dramatic happens Kohli will finish as winner of Orange Cap in IPL 2024.
