Earlier the highest wicket taker was given the Purple Cap and highest run scorer was given the Orange cap. Since the IPL has roped in another sponsor for the tournament, one will mostly hear the term ‘Aramco Purple Cap’ or ‘Aramco Orange Cap’ for the given awards.

One can expect Indian players like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan fighting for the Amarco Orange cap and Boom Boom Bumrah, Harshal Patel or young talent Avesh Khan to contest in race to win the Amarco Purple cap.
