What is the IPL Orange Cap
Orange Cap in IPL is awarded to the highest run scorer of that particular season. One of the most prestigious individual accolades in the tournament, awarded to the batsman with the highest aggregate runs for the season.
During the matches, it is always worn by the player who tops the run charts, and that can change several times from match to match as well throughout the tournament. The leading run-scorer at the end of the season is awarded the Orange Cap, which recognises his consistency, performance, and overall effect for his team.
