Mumbai Indians ended their four-match losing streak on Monday in the 30th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL), defeating Gujarat Titans by a huge margin of 99 runs. With this win, they also got off the bottom of the points table and jumped to seventh place. Tilak Varma jumped in list of highest run-scorers with a 101-run knock, even as he became the leading scorer for the five-time champions. He is nowhere close to the Orange Cap for now, but GT skipper Shubman Gill is in second place on the list.

In fact, Gill had a chance to claim the orange cap from Heinrich Klaasen, but he scored only 14 runs to take his tally to 265 runs in five matches at an average of 53 and a strike rate of 151.42 with three fifties to his name. On the other hand, Klaasen is firmly on top with 283 runs in six innings at an average of 47.16 and a strike rate of 144.38.

Virat Kohli (247 runs), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (246 runs) and Rajat Patidar (230 runs) complete the list of top five run-scorers of IPL 2026.
