Indian T20 League 2025 Orange Cap
What is Orange Cap in IPL
The Orange Cap is among the various individual accolades awarded during the Indian Premier League (IPL). It recognizes the batter with the most runs scored throughout the entire season. Introduced in 2008, the IPL Orange Cap recognizes consistency and dominance in batting throughout a given IPL schedule. The player leading the run-scorers list gets to wear an orange cap while fielding, a visible reminder of their achievement. In the case of two batters scoring the same runs, the batter with a better strike rate is awarded the cap.
The IPL Orange Cap has seen some legendary names etch their mark. Chris Gayle, known for his explosive batting, has clinched the award twice, while David Warner, the swashbuckling Australian opener, has been the frontrunner thrice. Virat Kohli, the former India and RCB captain, holds the record for the most runs scored in an IPL season (973 in 2016).
