The Orange Cap is provided at the end of every IPL season. It is awarded to the player who scores the most runs in a single season of the Indian Premier League. The IPL 2024 has already started on March 22, and it will be a two-month long tournament with some of the best batters taking part in it.
Hence, the standard of batting will be very high, and we might see someone clocking 900 runs this season. But who will be the Orange Cap holder? Will it be Virat Kohli or Shubman Gill, or will it be David Warner or Jos Buttler? Here we will talk about five such players who can end up winning the Orange Cap in the IPL 2024.

Here are the five batters who can win Orange Cap in the IPL 2024
1. Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bengaluru)
Virat Kohli will undoubtedly be one of the batters who is likely to give his all in the IPL 2024. Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the WPL, and that might have given confidence to the men’s team. A lot will depend on how Virat performs in the tournament. The former RCB captain is in great form, and that’s what we saw in the World Cup 2023. So this could be another season where we might see Virat wearing the Orange Cap.
2. KL Rahul (Lucknow Super Giants)
KL Rahul has been the most consistent batter in the last 4 or 5 seasons. He has scored 600 or more runs in five consecutive seasons, which is just incredible consistency. He is a complete fit and will look to do well for the team because his performance will also help him get a place in the T20 World Cup squad. So Rahul has a lot of things to prove, and it might bring out the out the best in him.
3. Ruturaj Gaikwad (Chennai Super Kings)
Ruturaj Gaikwad will play in the IPL 2024 as the CSK captain, which will bring even better performances from him. We all know how good he has been for his team at the top of the order, and this could be another great season for him. Devon Conway is injured, which might put more responsibility on Gaikwad’s shoulders and push him to perform well.
4. Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans)
Shubman Gill won the Orange Cap in 2022 when he crossed the 800-run mark in the competition. He is also in good form and is coming off a great test series against England. Gill will also make his captaincy debut in the IPL 2024, and a captain always performs well. Thus, we might see Gill performing more in the 17th edition of the tournament.
5. Yashasvi Jaiswal (Rajasthan Royals)
Yashasvi Jaiswal is in red-hot form and has been scoring runs for fun. The left-hander added more than 700 runs in the test series against England and will look to take that form into the IPL 2024. He scored the most runs for his team in 2022, and there are chances that with the form he is in at the moment, he can make the most of it and win the Orange Cap in the IPL 2024.
