IPL 2019: Top 5 candidates for the Orange Cap

#1 Virat Kohli

India v Australia - T20I: Game 2

Without a doubt, one of the top contenders for the Orange Cap, Virat Kohli would want to get back the Orange Cap. Having won it in 2016 after scoring a humongous 973 runs, Kohli would be eager to replicate that form and bring home the award along with an IPL Trophy.

One of the best batsmen in the world, he will start as the favourite to win any award before the beginning of a tournament. He has bagged many awards in his illustrious career and wouldn't mind adding another one. The phenomenon has scored 7905 runs in 238 innings at an average of 41.17 and has scored his runs at a healthy strike rate of 133.71.

RCB's skipper has the talent to win the award for a 2nd time, but he might not play a couple of games and that is something that might work against him.

Honorable mentions: KL Rahul (KXIP) and Rohit Sharma (MI)
