IPL Orange Cap Winners List from 2008 to 2024: Several renowned cricketers such as Matthew Hayden, Sachin Tendulkar, and Jos Buttler have been awarded the IPL Orange Cap over the years. David Warner holds the record for winning the most Orange Caps, having won three times in 2015, 2017, and 2019. Chris Gayle, also known as ‘The Universe Boss,’ has won the Orange Cap twice in his IPL journey in 2011 and 2012.
In 2008, Australia’s Shaun Marsh became the only uncapped player to ever win the award at the age of 24. Among the IPL franchises, Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in 2022, are the only ones that have yet to win the coveted IPL Orange Cap.
