IPL 2021: Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after RCB vs PBKS match (updated)

Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul has regained the top spot in the IPL 2021 Orange Cap standings.

The right-handed batter leapfrogged Chennai Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwad after scoring 39 runs off 35 deliveries in the Indian Premier League match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Unfortunately, Rahul's effort went in vain. RCB defeated PBKS by six runs at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. A few more changes happened on the Orange Cap leaderboard after the RCB vs PBKS game.

Rahul's opening partner Mayank Agarwal climbed to number six thanks to his half-century.

Three RCB batters are right behind Agarwal currently, with Glenn Maxwell (407 runs), Virat Kohli (357 runs) and Devdutt Padikkal (349 runs) in the seventh, eighth and ninth positions respectively.

Maxwell breached the 400-run mark in IPL 2021 during his 57-run knock against PBKS.
