KL Rahul, the captain of the Kings XI Punjab, is looking forward to clinching the Orange Cap from his opening partner, Mayank Agarwal, who holds the most runs in IPL 2020 till yet. In an exclusive chat, Rahul added that soon, he will grab the title from Agarwal.

KXIP, who have lost three out of four matches, can still make it to the playoffs as they hold the terrific opening pair of Rahul-Agarwal. The duo added some exciting runs and notably, they are the only opening pair of the IPL 2020 to register a hundred and a fifty for both.

In their last match against the Mumbai Indians (MI), they collapsed earlier as Rahul and Agarwal could not stay for long on the pitch. However, they were near to victory in the other three matches as they both added some excellency in the beginning.

“Until and unless that orange cap stays with Kings XI, I’m happy. He’s (Agarwal) worked very hard and deserves that cap. I’m sure I’ll take it off him soon,” said Rahul as quoted by Times Now.

On the other hand, Agarwal believes it does not matter whoever holds the Orange Caps as the team is in UAE to deliver some professionalism in cricket. According to the current cap holder, any of his batting fellows can have the cap.

“We are not competing for the cap, we are just looking to play some good cricket. It doesn’t matter who gets the runs, be it Rahul, Maxwell, Pooran, or anyone else.” Agarwal said.

Here is the list of Orange Caps:
