‘Abhishek Will Have The Best Chance’: Graeme Smith Backs SRH Opener To Claim Orange Cap
Indian Premier League: Graeme Smith has tipped Abhishek Sharma to finish as the leading run-scorer in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026, even as Heinrich Klaasen currently sits atop the Orange Cap standings.
The former South Africa captain and SA20 League commissioner believes Sharma’s role as an opener gives him an edge over Klaasen, who bats in the middle order for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Klaasen has enjoyed a prolific campaign so far, scoring 494 runs at an average of 54.88, while Sharma is close behind with 475 runs at 47.50. However, Smith feels the nature of modern IPL batting conditions and Sharma’s position at the top of the order could eventually tilt the race in the left-hander’s favour.
