The Orange Cap is a prestigious award given in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to the player who scores the most runs in an IPL season. This cap is worn by the leading run-scorer of the tournament, who has consistently contributed the highest number of runs for their team throughout the competition.
Introduced in 2008, the Orange Cap became one of the most sought-after accolades in the IPL. Each year, as the tournament progresses, the cap is passed around to the current IPL top scorer. The player with the highest runs in IPL by the end of the season is ultimately awarded the Orange Cap.
