The Orange Cap is an annual cricket award presented to the leading run r in the Indian Premier League. It was introduced on 25 April 2008, a week after the start of the inaugural season of the IPL. The batsman with most runs in the tournament during the course of the season would wear the Orange Cap while fielding, with the overall leading run-r at the conclusion of the tournament winning the actual Orange Cap award on the day of the season’s final. Brendon McCullum became the first player to wear the Orange Cap and Shaun Marsh became the first winner of the award.
The then IPL chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi said of the initiative, “Cricket is often remembered and recorded as statistics and not by material distinctions. The Indian Premier League will create a distinction for the best performing batsman, which will be cherished and valued by each player through this initiative. The purpose of this initiative is to be innovative, create another unique piece of history that sets the Indian Premier League apart from the crowd, and to reward outstanding achievements by the players.”
