Players who missed IPL title: Winning the Orange Cap in the Indian Premier League is a big achievement for any batsman, but many times it has happened that despite excellent performance, the player could not win the title for his team. Here is the mention of 5 Orange Cap winners who deserved the trophy, but their team could not win the IPL.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli will talk first (Virat Kohli) Ki, who had a record breaking performance by scoring 973 runs in the 2016 season. This is one of the best individual seasons in IPL history. His team Royal Challengers Bangalore reached the final, but missed out on winning the title. Kohli’s performance is still considered memorable.

david warner

At second place is David Warner who won the Orange Cap several times. Especially in 2019, he scored 692 runs, but Sunrisers Hyderabad could not progress beyond the playoffs. Warner kept scoring runs continuously, but the team did not get support.

KL Rahul

The third player is KL Rahul who achieved the Orange Cap by scoring 670 runs in 2020. As the captain of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Rahul batted well, but the team could not even make it to the playoffs. His individual performance was excellent, but the team’s balance was weak.

chris gayle

At fourth place comes Chris Gayle who scored 733 runs in 2012. His explosive batting took RCB to the finals, but the team had to face defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. Gayle had a very explosive season, yet did not get the trophy.

Hashim Amla

Finally, let’s talk about Hashim Amla, who scored 572 runs in 2017. Despite his classical batting, Punjab team could not make it to the playoffs. Amla’s calm and steady performance paled in comparison to the team’s weaknesses.

All these players batted brilliantly in their respective seasons and proved themselves by winning the Orange Cap. However, cricket is a team game, and it is difficult to win a trophy with just one player. This is the reason why these stars shone individually, but remained away from the IPL title.
