Looking at who has won the awards in the past can be a big clue to who can take the Orange Cap in 2020. In some cases, the awards have been won by the same player on more than one occasion, which you can see below.
The top players and award winners usually also have a big say in which team wins the IPL title.
It is worth considering who you think the main men will be ahead of the new season when looking to bet on the overall winner.
Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently considered the joint-favourites to take victory in 2020. They are both considered 5.00 (4/1) chances with bet365.
Chennai Super Kings are the third-favourites at 6.00 (5/1) with the same firm. Behind them come Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at 8.00 (7/1).
King's XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals are the outsiders at 10.00 (9/1).
The IPL’s end-of-season Orange Cap award goes to the cricketer that has smashed the most runs that campaign.
The Orange Cap began just weeks into the very first IPL season. It saw the current holder wearing the cap while fielding. The first player to ever wear the orange cap was New Zealander Brendan McCullum.
Australian Shaun Marsh was the first winner at the end of the 2008 season after he hit 616 runs in 11 matches for King’s XI Punjab.
Multiple award winners of the IPL Orange Cap include three-time winner David Warner and two-time winner Chris Gayle.
Both men will again feature in IPL 13 and we’ll have all the latest odds as soon as they’re available.
