Still, KKR are beginning to locate a couple of difference-makers, and one of them has climbed into the spotlight on the Purple Cap list after a major run of recent results.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kartik Tyagi has entered the top five on the Purple Cap standings for KKR.<\/li>\n<li>In the latest match, Tyagi recorded figures of 2 for 37 and dismissed Tilak Varma and Deepak Chahar off the final delivery of Mumbai\u2019s innings.<\/li>\n<li>Tyagi\u2019s wickets for the season now total 18.<\/li>\n<li>Sunil Narine delivered 1 for 13 versus MI and remains the tournament\u2019s most frugal wicket-taker, conceding at 6.40 after 12 bowling appearances.<\/li>\n<li>The Orange Cap picture saw no major movement after Wednesday, with KKR\u2019s Angkrish Raghuvanshi unable to bat due to a concussion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Purple Cap leaderboard<\/h2>\n<p>A new name sits at number five on the Purple Cap table: KKR\u2019s Kartik Tyagi. Earlier in the campaign, when the franchise was not managing wins, he often operated quietly. More recently, however, his impact has grown as KKR have strung together momentum, collecting six victories in their last seven outings and keeping their hopes alive for a place in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Tyagi produced a decisive spell by taking 2 for 37. His key breakthroughs came when he dismissed Tilak Varma and Deepak Chahar, with both dismissals arriving off the last ball of the MI innings. That finish pushed his overall wicket haul for the season to 18.<\/p>\n<p>The leading wicket-takers at the top of the list remain unchanged. Bhuvneshwar Kumar of Royal Challengers Bengaluru is still on 24 wickets, followed by Kagiso Rabada of Gujarat Titans on 21. Anshul Kamboj of Chennai Super Kings has 20, while Jofra Archer of Rajasthan Royals has 18\u2014matching Tyagi\u2019s wicket total. Archer, though, has been slightly more economical, with an economy rate of 9.14 compared to Tyagi\u2019s 9.42.<\/p>\n<p>Sunil Narine, meanwhile, returned what were described as \u201cmagical\u201d figures against MI: 1 for 13. He sits well below the top wicket counts with 14 wickets overall, but no bowler has been more efficient than Narine this season. After 12 bowling innings, he is conceding at an economy rate of 6.40.<\/p>\n<h2>Orange Cap leaderboard<\/h2>\n<p>There was little change in the run-scorers\u2019 standings on Wednesday. KKR\u2019s leading batter for the season, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, did not take the field to bat after sustaining a concussion during fielding. For MI, their top run-getter Ryan Rickelton managed only 6 in the outing.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the Orange Cap leaderboard, RR\u2019s Vaibhav Sooryavanshi leads with 579 runs. Mitchell Marsh of Lucknow Super Giants is second on 563, while Heinrich Klaasen of Sunrisers Hyderabad sits third with 555. In positions four and five are GT openers B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill, with 554 and 552 runs respectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Tournament MVP<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Best batting
