In the 2025 Indian Premier League, the player with the highest run total wins the Orange Cap. This esteemed award rewards dependable batsmen throughout the season and is a testament to batting supremacy in the Indian Premier League.
The Orange Cap is worn on the field by the player who tops the run charts. The present wearer keeps it until the end of that innings, at which point it is passed on, if another batter throughout a game beats his total. The batter with the greater strike rate wins the Orange Cap if there is a tie in runs.
Legendary batsmen including Shaun Marsh, David Warner, Virat Kohli, and Jos Buttler have held the Orange Cap since the IPL 2008 inaugural. Every year, the league becomes more competitive, making the 2025 Orange Cap race an exciting event to watch.
