IPL 2023 Orange Cap

The player with the highest runs at the end of the season will receive the orange cap in IPL 2023. Since the IPL began in 2008, one of the enduring prizes given out by the organisers has been the orange cap.

It was the first time that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secured a prestigious partner for Orange and Purple Cap, and Saudi Aramco served as the sponsor for the Orange Cap in IPL 2022.

Shaun Marsh, an Australian batsman, was the first IPL 2008 player to receive the Orange Cap after amassing 616 runs for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 11 games at a strike rate of 139.68.

With 6624 runs scored for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Virat Kohli holds the record for most runs scored in a season (973 in 2016).

Chris Gayle, a former teammate of Kohli’s at RCB, is the only player to win the Orange Cap twice in the IPL, in 2011 (608 runs) and 2012 (733 runs).
