IPL 2023: 5 front-runners to bag Orange Cap this season
These players have done wonders with the willow over the two bygone weeks of the marquee event.
1. Shikhar Dhawan
This year, Shikhar Dhawan is holding the captaincy mantle for Punjab Kings (PBKS) as the franchise trusted him to lead the side due to his vast experience. Till now, the veteran has given an ideal start to the team with his leadership skills. Talking about his batting, the veteran is looking more dangerous against the opponents.
Notching up 233 runs in four contests at a strike rate of 146.54, he has made it to the top-run-scorer chart. Against Rajasthan Royals (RR), his 86-run knock powered his team to bag the match by five runs. PBKS sustained their first defeat in the competition against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) but even in the losing cause, Dhawan stood as the lone warrior and scored 99 runs off 66 balls.
The Southpaw’s batting numbers will be crucial for PBKS to fare well in the competition. Counting on his marvellous batting form, the Punjab-based franchise will look to register their presence in the Playoffs after nine years.
