One of the most prominent individual honors in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is the Orange Cap. It was first given out in the 2008 season and is awarded to the top run-scorer in each IPL season. The batter who scores the most runs on the field wears the cap, which he holds until someone else overtakes the player.
It displays a player's dominance throughout the competition in addition to reflecting form and consistency. Until the final ball of the IPL season, the Orange Cap race is still going on.
