However, beyond those two big scores\u2014and a 48 in between\u2014his other contributions have mostly come in single digits, which is why the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pair of Abhishek Sharma (323 runs) and Heinrich Klaasen (320) still occupy the first two positions on the chart.<\/p>\n<p>Further movements are possible on Friday night when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Gujarat Titans (GT). Shubman Gill sits in fourth place with 265 runs, Virat Kohli is sixth with 247, and Rajat Patidar is ninth on 230. With that trio in the mix, one or more of them could climb higher before the leaderboard settles again.<\/p>\n<h2>Purple Cap leaderboard<\/h2>\n<p>Samson\u2019s CSK colleague, Anshul Kamboj, is back in the Purple Cap conversation as well. Prince Yadav of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had previously shared the summit with 13 wickets, but Kamboj\u2019s figures of 1 for 10 from three overs against MI\u2014along with taking Shardul Thakur\u2019s wicket\u2014have propelled him to 14 wickets and the top spot.<\/p>\n<p>Prince is currently second, with SRH\u2019s Eshan Malinga and GT\u2019s Prasidh Krishna sitting joint third on 12 wickets apiece. Krishna is due to play against RCB next, so the expectation is that he could make an impact and alter the list again.<\/p>\n<p><b>Highest batting strike rates<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Most
