List of Orange cap holders in the IPL

David Warner, IPL 8:

The flamboyant Australian took his game literally to another level after being handed over the captaincy duties of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Almost single handedly carrying the Sunrisers batting on his shoulders Warner racked up a total of 562 runs in the eighth edition. Averaging an impressive 43 he made these runs at an amazing strike rate of 156.54. This is some achievement considering the Sunrisers played only 14 games. Credit is also due since the runs do not include a single century but are a combination of crucial match winning knocks. The most impressive aspect was his consistency, a skill normally not associated with the pocket size dynamo.
