Holding the Orange Cap underscores Jaiswal’s growing maturity at the crease. Teams will plan specifically for him as he continues to pile up runs, and his performances lift his side’s title hopes. His mix of timing, power and calm running between the wickets makes him difficult to contain.
Jaiswal’s Orange Cap could mark the start of a lasting IPL legacy if he maintains this form, so fans and opponents alike should watch closely.
