Shikhar Dhawan is the new orange cap holder [iplt20.com]
Shikhar Dhawan continues to amaze us with exhilirating batting in the ongoing IPL 2023. He has received considerable amount of flack for his strike-rate, but the southpaw silenced his critics with a stunning 99 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday.
Orange Cap holder IPL 2023
Thanks to yet another blistering knock, Dhawan surpassed CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad to become the new Orange Cap holder in the IPL 2023. Dhawan now stands tall with 225 runs in 3 matches, including two half-centuries.
Ruturaj is closely followed by David Warner and Jos Buttler as the race for the Orange cap has intensified.
It was a battle between Dhawan and SRH as all the other batters failed in front of a strong SRH bowling unit. Interestingly, out of the 143 that PBKS scored in their first innings, 99 was scored by one batter himself. It truly justifies the skills that Dhawan has in the shortest format of the game.
Barring Dhawan and Ruturaj, DC captain Warner has scored 158 runs in 3 matches, and Jos Buttler has added 152 runs in the same amount of matches.
