Rajasthan Royals' star batter Jos Buttler has created a monopoly on top with a significant margin while Robin Uthappa entered the top 10 batter's list with a 25-ball 30 against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday.
Moving up the ladder was also Shivam Dube from Chennai Super Kings (CSK), moving above Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Shreyas Iyer. He hit 13 runs in 14 balls in Chennai's win over MI.
For the out-of-form MI, their star batter Suryakumar Yadav (232) as well as youngster Tilak Varma (234) also broke into the top 10 after their loss.
