The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is about to start. The IPL was founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The first edition, however, started in 2008. Since then, the tournament has taken place every year. The 2024 IPL season will be the 17th edition. The top scorer in IPL history is Virat Kohli. He has made 7,263 runs since the tournament started in 2008.

Jos Buttler won the IPL 2022 orange cap. He made 863 runs, scoring at an average of 57.53. His highest score that year was 116. Buttler has shown us exactly what he is capable of in the past, and he is one of the top contenders to win the orange cap in the 17th edition of IPL.

While his previous season was not too impressive, he has been in very good form this year. Buttler has made 408 runs for Paarl Royals in 11 innings at an average of 40.80. He is the fourth-highest top scorer in the Betway SA20 league. It will be interesting to see just how good Buttler turns out to be in IPL 2024 for Rajasthan Royals.

David Warner has won the orange cap three times in the past. He finished eighth in the top scorer list in IPL 2023. However, his form seems to have improved since then. While he did not perform too well at the International League T20, he was in top form for Australia. He made 173 runs in three games against West Indies. Warner will hope he can continue this form to the Indian Premier League. If he does, he will be one of the favourites to win the IPL 2024 orange cap.

Shubman Gill is the current holder of the orange cap. He was the top scorer in the 2023 season. Gill made 890 runs for the Gujarat Titans in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League at an average of 59.33. This is the second-highest total ever in a single IPL season. The only player to hit more than 890 runs in one season is Virat Kohli. The RCB batsman made 973 runs in 2016. Gill is an extremely explosive player, and it will not come as a shock if he ends up retaining the orange cap and end the IPL 2024 season as the top scorer.

Yashasvi Jaiswal – Rajasthan Royals

Yashasvi Jaiswal had a fantastic Indian Premier League campaign in 2023. The youngster made 625 runs, which is no small feat for someone his age. The Rajasthan Royal’s stars rise has continued. He even broke into the India test team and has already had a few spectacular performances. The batsman seems to be loving his time with the bat right now and will hope to continue this form into the 2024 IPL season. If he continues this form, he can very easily win the IPL 2024 orange cap.

Virat Kohli – Royal Challengers Bangalore

Virat Kohli has only ever won the Indian Premier League orange cap once in his career, but this orange cap stands apart from all others. Kohli made 973 runs in the 2016 Indian Premier League season. This is the most any player has ever made in a single season. The Royal Challengers Bangalore star has always been in the runs, so you can never count him out. Kohli seems to be in very good form, and after losing the World Cup, he may be fired up even more to perform in and win the 17th season of the Indian Premier League. This makes him a strong contender to win the IPL 2024 orange cap.
