Playing for <a href="https://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/delhi-daredevils">Delhi Daredevils</a> (DD) against <a href="https://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/mumbai-indians">Mumbai Indians </a>(MI) at Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi, Pant shone for one last time, this time with a 44-ball 64. The innings took him to 684 runs in this season, <b>the most by a wicketkeeper in a single edition of IPL</b>. He also regained the Orange Cap from <a href="https://www.cricketcountry.com/players/kane-williamson/">Kane Williamson</a>. Pant went past the record set by <a href="https://www.cricketcountry.com/players/robin-uthappa/">Robin Uthappa</a>, who had scored 660 for <a href="https://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/kolkata-knight-riders/">Kolkata Knight Riders </a>(KKR) in 2014. <p></p> <p></p>Uthappa remains the only wicketkeeper to win an IPL Orange Cap. Pant will have to forego his, as DD have been eliminated but other teams stay in the hunt. One person who will eye the record is KL Rahul of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), currently on 652 runs, all of them as wicketkeeper. Not only will Rahul get an outing tonight, there is also a chance, however slim, of KXIP making it to the Playoffs. <p></p><table style="width: 348px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><colgroup> <col width="36" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="142" /> <col width="50" /> </colgroup> <p></p><tbody> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td colspan="4" width="348" height="20">400 runs by a wicketkeeper in a single IPL season</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td height="20">Runs</td> <p></p><td>Batsman</td> <p></p><td>Team</td> <p></p><td>Season</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">684</td> <p></p><td>Rishabh Pant</td> <p></p><td>Delhi Daredevils</td> <p></p><td align="right">2018</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">660</td> <p></p><td>Robin Uthappa</td> <p></p><td>Kolkata Knight Riders</td> <p></p><td align="right">2014</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">652</td> <p></p><td>KL Rahul</td> <p></p><td>Kings XI Punjab</td> <p></p><td align="right">2018</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">548</td> <p></p><td>Jos Buttler</td> <p></p><td>Rajasthan Royals</td> <p></p><td align="right">2018</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">510</td> <p></p><td>Dinesh Karthik</td> <p></p><td>Mumbai Indians</td> <p></p><td align="right">2013</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">495</td> <p></p><td>Adam Gilchrist</td> <p></p><td>Deccan Chargers</td> <p></p><td align="right">2009</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">461</td> <p></p><td>MS Dhoni</td> <p></p><td>Chennai Super Kings</td> <p></p><td align="right">2013</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">445</td> <p></p><td>Quinton de Kock</td> <p></p><td>Delhi Daredevils</td> <p></p><td align="right">2016</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">438</td> <p></p><td>Dinesh Karthik</td> <p></p><td>Kolkata Knight Riders</td> <p></p><td align="right">2018</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">430</td> <p></p><td>MS Dhoni</td> <p></p><td>Chennai Super Kings</td> <p></p><td align="right">2018</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">436</td> <p></p><td>Adam Gilchrist</td> <p></p><td>Deccan Chargers</td> <p></p><td align="right">2008</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td align="right" height="20">405</td> <p></p><td>Robin Uthappa</td> <p></p><td>Pune Warriors India</td> <p></p><td align="right">2012</td> <p></p></tr> <p></p><tr> <p></p><td colspan="4" height="20"><span>Note: </span><span>KL Rahul and MS Dhoni have one match left in the league stage.</span></td> <p></p></tr> <p></p></tbody> <p></p></table> <p></p>Note: <p></p> <p></p>- Adam Gilchrist, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, and Uthappa feature twice on the table <p></p> <p></p>- Karthik and Uthappa both feature for two sides <p></p> <p></p>- 2018 has five representatives Pant, Rahul, Jos Buttler, <a href="https://www.cricketcountry.com/players/dinesh-karthik/">Dinesh Karthik</a>, and Dhoni.
