FIXTURES/RESULTS
For
now,
Harshal
has
a
clear
edge
over
his
rivals
and
it
looks
as
though
the

cap
will
stay
with
him.
Meanwhile,
Punjab
Kings
skipper
KL
Rahul
continued
to
hold
on
to
the
orange
cap
despite
his

crashing
out
of
IPL
2021.

Karnataka
opener
has
amassed
626
runs
from
13
innings
at
an
average
of
62.6
and
a

rate
of
138.8
Rahul
had
been
pretty
consistent
right
throughout
IPL
2021
and
registered
six
half-centuries.
