The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is just around the corner and the excitement for the mega-tournament has been increasing with every passing day. Ahead of the upcoming season, the BCCI has made a major change to the names of the individual awards – Purple Cap and Orange Cap, which are given to the players.

All the eyes will be on the captain of Lucknow Super Giants, KL Rahul, who has aggregated heaps of runs in the previous two IPL seasons. While he won the Orange Cap in IPL 2020, he missed out in the last year’s tournament by a close margin. In IPL 2021. the Orange Cap was won by the duo of CSK Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
