RCB captain Virat Kohli still remained at the top of the pile in the race for Orange Cup.
Sunrise Hyderabad's Kane Williamson and Chennai Super Kings' Ambati Rayudu entered the list of IPL 2018 leading run-scorers after the game 20 of Indian Premier League.
Williamson rose to second in the list with a 84 off 51 balls on Sunday, but his effort was not enough to give his team victory.
Ambati Rayudu's smashing knock of 79 off only 37 balls took him to 7th in list.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli still remained at the top of the pile in the race for Orange Cup.
Virat Kohli scored 30 runs as Royal Challengers Bangalore notched a convincing six-wicket win over Delhi Daredevils in their IPL 2018 fixture at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. Kohli now has 231 runs from five matches in IPL 2018.
Earlier on Saturday, Virat Kohli was dethroned off the top of IPL 2018 run-scorers list after three days when a resurgent Chris Gayle and KL Rahul over took the RCB skipper.
Gayle, who has been in phenomenol form this season for KXIP, completed a hat-trick of half-centuries with an unbeaten 62 from 38 balls in the match against KKR. Rahul helped himself to a 60 off only 27 balls.
Gayle rose to 229 runs in just three matches while Rahul now has 213 runs off 5 matches. Delhi Daredevils' Rishabh Pant who played a knock of 85 was in fourth place- sandwiched between two KXIP openers with 223 runs.
