7 CONTENDERS FOR ORANGE CAP IN IPL 2024

As the excitement builds and the anticipation peaks, IPL 2024 is just around the corner, promising another exhilarating season of cricketing action. Among the many accolades up for grabs, the Orange Cap stands tall, waiting to adorn the head of the batsman who can outshine all others with his exceptional runscoring prowess. Let's explore potential contenders who could claim this prestigious title in the upcoming tournament.

1. ROHIT SHARMA (MUMBAI INDIANS)

Rohit Sharma, the seasoned campaigner from Mumbai Indians, enters IPL 2024 with a point to prove. Despite recent struggles in the tournament, Rohit's vast experience and innate talent make him a compelling candidate for the Orange Cap. Freed from the burden of captaincy in IPL, Rohit can channel his focus entirely into his batting, reminiscent of his match-winning performances in the 2019 World Cup. His recent T20 century against Afghanistan is a testament to his form and class. With 6211 runs in 243 matches, Rohit remains a formidable force at the crease, poised to make a resounding impact in the upcoming season.

2. SHUBMAN GILL (GUJARAT TITANS)
