Finally, Ruturaj Gaikwad wins this and becomes the youngest player to win an Orange cap. Faf Du Plessis, Ruturaj’s opening partner in CSK was just 2 runs behind Ruturaj. Ruturaj scored 635 runs in 16 matches with a century also to his name this season. He scored an unbeaten 101* against Rajasthan Royals. He averages more than 45, which is just unbelievable.

Before the start of today’s final match, the orange cap holder was KL Rahul who scored highest in 13 innings and Ruturaj overtakes him in his 16th inning … interesting.. No? Maybe if Punjab Kings were qualified, the Orange cap may finally rest on KL Rahul in the 2021 IPL season.

But in this season, he shut down all mouths of his critics, with most runs in 2021 IPL and also with a strike rate of more than 135 which is just incredible.
