IPL 2026 Stats: Virat Kohli Tops List For Orange Cap, Prasidh Krishna Leads Purple Cap Race

Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered yet another defeat this time at the hands of Punjab Kings (PBKS) as Shreyas Iyer-led side registered a seven-wicket victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 16.

The game was remembered for Quinton de Kock's century as the South African, who came in the place of the injured Rohit Sharma, anchored Mumbai to 195-6 with an unbeaten 112 off 60 balls while Naman Dhir scored 50 off 31 deliveries.

However, blistering half-centuries from wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh (80 not out) and captain Shreyas Iyer (66) powered Punjab to 198-3 in 16.3 overs as PBKS topped the IPL 2026 points table with nine points.

Premium fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was not at his usual best as his wicketless run continued in the IPL 2026 as he returned with expensive figures of 0-41 off his four overs.

The PBKS win saw Prabhsimran Singh (211 runs) take the fifth spot in the Orange Cap list (highest run-getter) at a strike rate of 172.95. Virat Kohli still holds the top spot with 228 runs with Heinrich Klaasen in second at 224 runs. Shreyas Iyer also finds himself on the list with 203 runs at a strike rate of 187.

In the Purple Cap list, Prasidh Krishna continues to top the list with 10 wickets followed by Anshul Kamboj who too has 10 wickets but has played a game more than Krishna. MI's Shardul Thakur is also on the list with six wickets in five games.
