Winners of the orange cap in every IPL season
Winners of the orange cap in every IPL season
The Indian Head Alliance (IPL) has given hitters more flexibility to hit shots bravely and bat openly. Hitters continually battle to topple one another within the competition to become the tournament’s driving run-scorer and smash gigantic records.
The competition’s best scorer gets an Orange Cap grant after the IPL. Whereas Virat Kohli may be the fans’ choice, it’s David Warner who has won the Orange Cap a record three times. The IPL Orange Cap has been won by a few eminent players, counting Matthew Hayden, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli.
