Every year whenever the IPL is about to begin, it changes the scenario of the tournament which is beyond our imagination. For a tournament which has seen many intriguing contests and some wonderful talents over the last few years, IPL has been a platform for these players to showcase themselves at the earliest. The IPL has seen the emergence of some promising talents over the years who have further made their mark in the international fold. Besides, every edition has seen a new player who has gone on to grab the eyeballs.
Well, we all hope that this year’s event will produce a new talent like the previous editions, who can subsequently be a superstar of the future. In addition to this, IPL has seen some of the best innings by some of the finest players who have dominated world cricket with some wonderful performances. It has truly been an amazing experience to watch them perform particularly in top-flight cricket.
The list of batsmen about whom we are bound to discuss have been dominating world cricket since the last decade, or so, and will be the hot favourites to win the Orange Cap in this year’s IPL. Amongst them, we have added a player who is relatively new in the international set-up but is billed as the next big star of Indian cricket.
Here, we take a look at 5 such batsmen who are favourites to don the Orange Cap in this year’s event;
# 1 David Warner (Sun Risers Hyderabad):-
David Warner has re-established himself after making a comeback from the ball-tampering saga in South Africa in 2018. His unbeaten 335 against Pakistan in last year’s Test series showed why he is considered one of the most destructive openers in world cricket at the moment.
The left-handed batsman can destroy any bowling line up on his day with his aggressive style of play. Warner can find the gaps in the field with his powerful drives and square cuts.
The 32-year-old is quick on the back foot and can punch the ball powerfully even on slow wickets. Warner is equally strong while pulling the ball. Warner is not afraid to free his arms against the spinners to play the big shots.
Thus, he stands a chance to lay hands on the Orange Cap.
