The Orange and Purple Cap races in IPL 2026 are currently being dominated by the Rajasthan Royals, who continued their impressive run with a fourth consecutive win, comfortably defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati.
At the top of the Orange Cap standings, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has taken the lead with 200 runs from just four innings. His remarkable strike rate of 266.66 highlights his aggressive form.

Close behind him is his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has scored 183 runs so far. Despite a modest 13-run innings in the latest game, he remains just 17 runs away from reclaiming the top spot. Adding to Rajasthan’s dominance, Dhruv Jurel sits third, following up his earlier performance with an unbeaten 81 off 43 balls.
Other notable contributors include Sameer Rizvi of Delhi Capitals with 160 runs and Angkrish Raghuvanshi of Kolkata Knight Riders with 155 runs, completing the top five.
In the Purple Cap race, Ravi Bishnoi leads with nine wickets, continuing his strong comeback season. He is followed by Prasidh Krishna of Gujarat Titans. Several bowlers are tied with five wickets, including Rashid Khan, Lungi Ngidi, and Jofra Archer, making the competition intense in both batting and bowling charts.
