Complete list of Orange Cap Winners (2023 – 2008) with Statistics

The most important aspect of the game known as cricket is scoring runs. It’s as basic as that: runs win games. The Indian Premier League, or IPL, awards maximum run scores in each season in the shape of an orange cap. Orange cap winners in the IPL stand out from the crowd. The highest-scoring player wears it during the IPL season. This distinctive orange cap in IPL is awarded at the end of the tournament to the player who has scored the most runs during the season. If two batsmen score the same amount of runs, the man with the greater strike rate is awarded the orange cap. We all know that cricket is a team sport in which every player participates, but recognising individual talent is vital.

Orange Cap in IPL Winners List (2008 – 2023) facts.

In the IPL, the player who scores the most runs is given the Orange Cap. The batsman is being rewarded for his exceptional performance with the bat during the season.

One week after the first IPL season began, on April 25, 2008, the Orange Cap was debuted.

The batter who scored the most runs during the competition would wear the orange cap while fielding, and at the completion of the competition, the highest run scorer would be given the actual orange cap reward.

In the IPL, Brendon McCullum was the first player to don the Orange Cap, and Shaun Marsh was the inaugural champion.

Shaun Marsh was the first recipient of the Orange Cap Award, while Brendon McCullum was the first player to wear the Orange Cap during the IPL.

David Warner, who won the Orange Cap in the IPL three times in 2015, 2017, and 2019, is the only player to do so. Due to the ball-tampering controversy, he was unable to play in the 2018 season, but he returned in 2019 and scored 692 runs.

The record for the most runs scored in an IPL season belongs to Virat Kohli. In 2016, he amassed 973 runs, including four mammoth centuries and seven fifties, earning him the Orange Cap Award.

  • The player with the most runs scored for the season receives this honour.
  • The batter who scored the most runs during the season would put on the Orange Cap while playing on the field.
  • The batsman with the higher strike rate wins the Orange Cap Award in a tie-breaking situation.
  • Even if the opposing batters pass the player wearing an orange cap while he is fielding, he may continue to do so until the end of the innings.

From 2008 until 2023, here’s a comprehensive list of IPL champions wearing the orange hat

16. Orange Cap in IPL 2023: Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill, a Punjabi opener, has received a lot of appreciation from all sides for his significant contributions to the world championship victory of the India U19 team in 2018. In his first season and the 2019 season, he made crucial contributions for the Kolkata Knight Riders after being acquired by them in 2018. The KKR team management decided to keep him on because they thought he had tremendous batting potential and even identified him as a member of their core leadership group.

He made his ODI and Test debuts for India in 2019 and 2020, respectively, and is expected to have a bright future. However, KKR released him prior to the 2022 TATA IPL Auction.

15. Orange Cap in IPL 2022: Jos Buttler

The daring wicketkeeper-batter was instrumental in advancing Rajasthan Royals to the IPL 2022 championship game. With 863 runs, he finished as the tournament’s leading run scorer. In the league, Buttler has consistently scored runs. In the 2020 IPL, the right-hander had 328 runs scored. He had to leave the Indian Premier League 2019 in the middle of the season to join the England squad for World Cup 2019 preparations, but he had an impact during his eight-game stay, contributing 311 runs after his 548-run season in the IPL 2018. Since then, Buttler has added a World Cup victory to his resume.

He scored 254 runs in 7 games during the 2021 season, including a valiant century that dramatically transformed RR’s fortunes in 2022. He will be driven to build on his impactful season-long performance and support the team’s push for a second championship.
Rajasthan made it to the championship game for the first time since 2008 thanks in part to Jos Buttler. Buttler amassed an incredible 863 runs at an incredible strike rate of 149.05. Four century and four half centuries were scored by him. After Virat Kohli, who accomplished this record in 2016, he is the second hitter to score more than 800 runs in a single season.
