Orange Cap / Most Runs
One of the most prestigious individual awards in the Indian Premier League is the Orange Cap, which is given to the batter who scores the most runs in a single season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The cap system was inspired by the tradition of awarding a green cap to a debutant in Test cricket.
Apart from being a prestigious individual award, the Orange Cap also serves as a measure of consistency and performance for batters. It provides a platform for players to showcase their talent and contribute to the success of their respective teams.
The Orange Cap is a significant part of the IPL and has become a symbol of excellence for a batter in the tournament. Its introduction has added a new dimension to the league and has made it even more exciting for fans and players alike.
The Orange Cap was introduced in April 2008, a week after the start of the inaugural IPL season and has since become a coveted prize for a batter. The cap is presented to the leading run-scorer at the end of each match and is worn by the player until another individual surpasses his tally.
The Orange Cap has been won by some of the best batters in the world, including Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, David Warner, and AB de Villiers. David Warner has won the Orange Cap award thrice and Gayle follows with second.
Brendon McCullum was the first player to wear the Orange Cap and Shaun Marsh was the first player to take the Orange Cap at the end of a season.
In 2016, Virat Kohli broke the record for the most runs scored in a single season of the IPL, amassing a staggering 973 runs in 16 matches. The closest anyone has come to that tally was Rajasthan Royals' Jos Buttler last season who amassed 863 runs.
