User Question
What is the Orange Cap?
Correct Answer Pattern
The Orange Cap is awarded to the batter with the most runs in an IPL season. As a metric it is a season-long counting leaderboard ranked on total runs — there is no sample-size floor because totals are facts, not rates. For the current holder, see CricketStudio's Orange Cap leaderboard for the relevant season.
Required Concepts
- None specific — this is a definitional question.
Required Metrics
Citation Behavior
Cite the metric definition; if naming a current holder, cite the leaderboard page and the season.
Caveats
- Distinguish the Orange Cap (most runs, batting) from the Purple Cap (most wickets, bowling).
- Rewards volume, not efficiency.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
It's the trophy for the best batsman. ("Best" is vague; the Orange Cap is specifically most runs, a counting metric — not a quality verdict.)
