IPL 2025: Batters With Most Runs In Every IPL Season

IPL 2025: Batters With Most Runs In Every IPL Season

A new season of the Indian Premier League is about to go on the floors. After the IPL 2025 mega auctions, the league will come back in action after multiple changes in the squad and some big names will be seen wearing different jerseys.

Historically, the Indian Premier League has been a breeding ground for young cricketers who are willing to dedicate their lives to Indian cricket. IPL has become a way to knock on the door of BCCI and the selection committee and to receive a contract for the national side.

IPL acts as a medium for every single cricketer in the world to gain attention. For overseas players, it is a medium to get familiar with the playing conditions in India and prepare themselves for future challenges. Cricket boards of different countries are always supportive and proactive in sending their players to the league.

There are different awards which are given to the top performers in the league. One of the biggest awards is given to the leading scorer of the league every year which is known as “the Orange Cap”. The legal IPL betting apps in India always have the best odds for the batters in IPL and that showcases the amount of value a batsman has in the league.

In this article, we bring you the list of batters who have won the Orange Cap in the past.

IPL 2025 - Expected Orange Cap Winners

1) Ruturaj Gaikwad - Chennai Super Kings

The Chennai Super Kings batter, Ruturaj Gaikwad, will be in the spotlight this year again. He has been a consistent performer for the team and has won one Orange cap in 2021. In the previous edition of the league, Ruturaj Gaikwad was the 2nd highest scorer in the league and that makes him a batsman to watch out for in IPL 2025. The Chennai Super Kings team management has shown trust in Ruturaj Gaikwad by retaining him and continuing his leadership and that will also give a boost to the confidence of the player.
