IPL Legends That Have Never Won The Orange Cap
1) Rohit Sharma
Statistically, Rohit Sharma is the joint most successful player in IPL history. He has won six IPL trophies, with five of them being as captain of the Mumbai Indians. Not only is The Hitman one of the most successful players in the league in terms of match and trophy wins, but he is also the fourth-highest run scorer in league history.
Despite that, he has never even come close to winning the Orange Cap. In fact, he has only had one season where he has scored over 500 runs. Despite having over 6200 IPL runs, that comes down to his sheer consistency and the fact that he plays more than 14 IPL matches most seasons.
