Which IPL players have won maximum Orange Cap awards in IPL history

Two other essential titles to grab for any player are Orange Cap and Purple Cap. 

While Kings XI Punjab's Shaun Marsh became the first Orange cap holder in the inaugural edition for scoring 616 runs, Sunrisers Hyderabad's former skipper David Warner has won the most number of Orange Caps in the IPL history. He is the only player to have won three orange caps in 2015, 2017 and 2019 while representing Sunrisers Hyderabad. Apart from David Warner, Chris Gayle is the only player to have won the Orange cap more than once. He won the Orange Cap holder in 2011 and 2012 while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Warner's highest run tally in a season came in 2016 when he stood second in the orange cap holders list with 848 runs in 17 games. In 2015 he fetched 562 runs at an average of 43.23 and strike rate of 156.54 from 14 matches. In 2017 and 2019, he amassed 641 and 692 runs with an average of 58.27 and 69.20, respectively. 

In the ongoing season, though Jos Buttler is the leading run-scorer with a considerable margin after smashing 625 runs in 12 matches, Delhi Capitals opener David Warner stands third in the list with 427 runs in 10 games at an average of 61. His highest score of 92 must have been satisfying, coming against his former franchise SRH. He was so attached from 2014 to 2021, playing in 95 matches and amassing 4,014 runs with 40 fifties and two hundred, averaging 49.56 and striking at 142.59 runs every 100 balls faced.

The Delhi Capitals official said about Warner: "David is a fun-loving guy. As long as you are performing on the field, everything else doesn't matter. He has been a match-winner over the years. He gets his runs very quickly. He is a brilliant fielder. When it comes to crunch games, he stands up and gets counted."

Delhi Capitals is lucky to have a player like him in the team. If not already a legend in the IPL, he is undoubtedly one in the making with lots of games left.
