Abhishek now leads the Orange Cap race with 425 runs in 9 matches. His teammate Heinrich Klaasen has risen to second place with 414 runs, after his explosive 65, which earned him the Player of the Match award as Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Mumbai Indians by six wickets, registering their fifth consecutive win.
