Orange Cap, Purple Cap and IPL 2013 Top Run Scorers
Little separated the top two. CH Gayle (Chris Gayle) of Royal Challengers Bengaluru made 708, and he did it faster and at a higher average, 59.00 against Hussey’s 52.36, with a strike rate of 156.29. V Kohli (Virat Kohli) ran third on 634, his best a 99. Hussey had no hundred, yet six fifties and five player of the match awards made him the steadiest batter of the year.
Bravo’s 32 wickets cost 15.53 apiece. JP Faulkner of Rajasthan Royals was the one other bowler past 25, on 28, and two of his games brought five-wicket hauls, both against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Among the top 15 wicket takers, SP Narine of Kolkata Knight Riders went for the fewest per over, 5.47.
No figures in 2013 beat Faulkner’s 5/16 on 17 May 2013. JD Unadkat (5/25 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru) was the only other bowler to take five. Each year’s run and wicket leaders sit side by side on the Orange Cap list and Purple Cap winners pages.
Most Sixes in IPL 2013, Hundreds and Big Totals
One innings shaped the season’s records. On 23 Apr 2013, playing Pune Warriors at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Gayle hit 175* from 66 balls, 13 fours and 17 sixes among them. Royal Challengers Bengaluru piled up 263/5, far beyond the next best of the season, Chennai’s 223/3.
Gayle ended on 51 sixes, close to double KA Pollard’s 29 for Mumbai Indians. RG Sharma (Rohit Sharma) cleared the rope 28 times and MS Dhoni 25.
Just four players reached three figures. Alongside Gayle were DA Miller, 101* from 38 balls for Punjab Kings versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru, SR Watson with 101 for Rajasthan Royals, and SK Raina with 100* for Chennai. Raina (99*) and Kohli (99) each missed another by a single run. The IPL 2012 and IPL 2014 pages sit either side.
