3. David Warner – 7 Times

David Warner stands out as the most successful overseas batter in history. Making his debut in 2009, he won the Orange Cap three times and has scored 500+ runs in seven seasons — including six consecutive years from 2014 to 2020 and again in 2023. He’s an IPL legend.

He returned strong in 2024 and 2025 after missing out in 2023, making him one of the most consistent performers.

1. Virat Kohli – 8 Times
