IPL 2025 ka season ek dum dhamakedar raha hai, jahan batting aur bowling dono mein zabardast performances dekhne mile. 26 May 2025 tak, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ke Noor Ahmad ne Purple Cap mein top position le li hai, Gujarat Titans (GT) ke Prasidh Krishna ko piche chhodte hue. Wahi, GT ke B Sai Sudharsan aur Shubman Gill Orange Cap ke race mein abhi bhi top par bane hue hain, apni zabardast batting ke dum par.
Purple Cap: Noor Ahmad ne haath mein liya lead
Purple Cap, jo IPL season ke sabse zyada wickets lene wale bowler ko milti hai, usmein 2025 mein kaafi takkar chal rahi hai. CSK ke Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad ab top par pahuch gaye hain, 24 wickets ke saath. Unka ye rise aaya ek zabardast match ke baad Gujarat Titans ke khilaaf, jahan unhone 3 important wickets liye, CSK ne 230 for 5 defend kiya aur GT sirf 147 par all out ho gayi.
Noor ka average 18.42 hai, jo unhe GT ke Prasidh Krishna se aage rakhta hai, jinke paas 13 matches mein 23 wickets hain aur average 19.66 hai.
Noor ne poore season mein consistency dikhayi hai, har match mein important breakthroughs diye hain. Unka pressure mein perform karne ka style, especially CSK ke aakhri league match mein, unhe top par le gaya. Lekin CSK playoffs se bahar ho chuki hai, isliye Noor ka campaign ab khatam ho gaya hai, aur ab dusre bowlers ke paas mauka hai unhe piche chhodne ka – khaaskar Prasidh ke paas, jinke paas abhi matches bache hain.
GT ke Prasidh Krishna ne bhi season mein shandar bowling ki hai. Unka 2 for 19 ka spell SRH ke khilaaf unhe Player of the Match banaya, aur DC ke khilaaf 4 wicket bhi liye.
Unke peeche MI ke Trent Boult 19 wickets ke saath third place par hain, aur RCB ke Josh Hazlewood 10 matches mein 18 wickets ke saath fourth par hain. KKR ke Varun Chakravarthy aur GT ke R Sai Kishore 17-17 wickets ke saath top bowlers mein hain. Purple Cap ki race abhi bhi open hai, aur Prasidh aur doosre bowlers Noor ko overtake kar sakte hain playoffs mein.
Orange Cap: Sai Sudharsan aur Shubman Gill ki badhati chhavi
Batting side mein, Gujarat Titans ke openers B Sai Sudharsan aur Shubman Gill ne Orange Cap ke race mein dhamaka kar diya hai, jisme season ke sabse zyada run banane wale player ko cap milti hai. Sai Sudharsan abhi top par hain 14 matches mein 679 runs ke saath, aur Gill unke bilkul peeche hain 649 runs ke saath.
Inka partnership GT ke liye kaafi important raha hai, jaise ki DC ke 199 run ke target ke chase mein, jahan Sai ne 108 not out (61 balls) aur Gill ne 93 not out (53 balls) maare, aur match ek over pehle jeet liya.
Sai Sudharsan ki consistency dekhne layak rahi hai – kai half centuries aur ek century maar chuke hain, jaise SRH ke khilaaf 48 runs (23 balls) ki fast innings, jisne unhe Orange Cap wapas dilayi. Unke 617 runs mid-May tak ho gaye the, aur uske baad bhi unhone aur runs jode hain.
Gill, GT ke captain, bhi zabardast form mein hain – KKR ke khilaaf 90 (55 balls) aur MI ke khilaaf 43 (46 balls) maar chuke hain, apna anchor aur finisher role dikhate hue.
Top five mein MI ke Suryakumar Yadav (583 runs), LSG ke Mitchell Marsh (560 runs), aur RR ke Yashasvi Jaiswal (559 runs) bhi hain. Lekin Marsh aur Jaiswal ke teams playoffs se bahar ho chuki hain, isliye unke paas upar jaane ka chance khatam ho gaya hai. RCB ke Virat Kohli (548 runs) ke paas ab bhi mauka hai upar jaane ka agar wo playoffs mein achha khelte hain.
Context aur Outlook
IPL 2025 season mein Gujarat Titans dono leaderboards mein dominate kar rahe hain, jahan unke teen batters – Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, aur pehle Jos Buttler – top players rahe hain, saath hi bowler Prasidh Krishna bhi top par hain.
GT ka campaign strong raha hai, 10 matches mein 14 points ke saath wo points table mein second number par hain, unki balanced team ka proof.
Purple Cap ke liye Noor Ahmad ka lead abhi halki si lead hai, kyunki GT playoffs mein hai, to Prasidh Krishna ke paas abhi bhi mauka hai unhe peeche chhodne ka. Orange Cap mein, Sai Sudharsan aur Gill dono ke paas 700-run mark cross karne ka chance hai, jo IPL history mein rare hai.
