 "2008 to 2025: Full list of orange cap winners in Indian Premier League")
With the IPL 2025 coming to an end with RCB clinching the title on the night, breaking an 18-year drought after beating Punjab Kings, it is Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharshan who has clinched the Orange Cap, an honour awarded to the tournament's highest run-scorer.

GT's Sai Sudharshan has won the IPL 2025 Orange Cap despite of Gujarat Titans getting knocked out of the playoffs as he finishes the season with 759 runs
The Orange Cap not only recognises consistent performance with the bat but also highlights the most impactful batter across an intense season filled with world-class talent. Interestingly, though, history shows that this individual brilliance rarely aligns with team success. In fact, only twice in IPL history, in 2014 and 2021, has the Orange Cap winner also gone on to lift the IPL trophy in the same season.
