The Indian Premier League (IPL) fever is back as we’ve reached IPL 2022 and here, the group stage is scheduled between 26 Mar – 22 May 2022. It’s all set to be the longest ever edition of the tournament in terms of matches because of two additional teams joining the fray. And of course, there’s an infusion of fresh talent and a lot of new faces from across the globe.
To celebrate this cricket festival in India, all of the top sports betting websites in India also host cricket betting markets which allow you to wager on different outcomes related to IPL 2022. And while there are several long-term IPL 2022 betting markets, we’re going to focus on the top batsman betting market which is basically betting on the highest run scorer of the IPL 2022 season.
IPL 2022 – top batsman betting odds
Earlier this week, we spoke about the IPL 2022 winner betting markets where Delhi and Mumbai are pre-tournament favourites. Similarly, we’re going to discuss who are some of the individual favourites to end as the 2022 Orange Cap winner (the player with the most number of individual runs at the end of the IPL 2022 season).
Before you make your decision on which batsmen you want to bet on to be the top run scorer of IPL 2022, we’d like to help you by showing you some historical data on the last few Orange Cap winners. The top scorer last season was CSK’s Ruturaj Gaikwad and he’s going to be one of the hot favourites once again, while it was former Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul who topped the run scoring charts in IPL 2020.

Other winners in recent seasons include Kane Williamson, David Warner and Virat Kohli. It should be noted that in the last seven seasons of the tournament, David Warner has won the Orange Cap on three occasions and till date, he holds the record for being the only person ever to have won the award on three different occasions. We’re sure you’ll fancy a bet on him too, surely?!
Among the newbies, we have someone called Ishan Kishan who ended as the top buy at the IPL 2022 Auction and it’s not for nothing that everyone wanted to spend the big bucks on him. He didn’t have the best season in IPL 2021, scoring only 241 runs in 10 games and consistency isn’t his strong point. However, teams believe that he’s matured and will make a good bet to be the IPL 2022 top run scorer too.
IPL 2022 Outright Winner Betting
Unfortunately at the time of writing this article (updated 17th March 2022), no online sports betting website has yet released IPL 2022 top batsman betting markets, but we’re sure these will be out soon. As soon as any of these platforms release betting odds for the top batsman of IPL 2022, we’ll come back here and update you with the favourites, and with our personal picks as well.
