IPL 2022, Orange Cap holders: Shikhar Dhawan breaks into top three, Jos Buttler holds top spot
FirstpostTwo veterans of Indian cricket - Shikhar Dhawan and Ambati Rayudu - stole the limelight with their brilliant batting in the CSK vs PBKS encounter. The four-time IPL winners now stand with 4 points in 8 matches and even if they win all of their remaining six matches - which seems rather unlikely considering their recent form - it still won’t guarantee a top-four finish as CSK would then have to look at other teams’ performance and net run rate. Dhawan, who was playing his 200th IPL match, achieved a number of milestones on his way to an unbeaten 88-run knock that saw him climb to the third spot in the IPL 2022 orange cap holder’s list for the highest run-getter of the tournament. There were no changes at the top of the orange cap list at the beginning of the fifth week as Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler continued to enjoy a strong lead.
