Indian Premier League (IPL) is world's most competitive T20 tournament, where every player strives to deliver match-winning performances for their team.

Players who dominate with the bat are rewarded with the Orange Cap (awarded to the season's top run-scorer) and the bowler who rattles the opposition batters with their bowling are given the Purple Cap (awarded to the highest wicket-taker).

Only a few Indian players have managed to win these prestigious accolades and lead their teams to IPL glory in the same season.

Have a look at three Indian cricketers who achieved this rare double.

1. Robin Uthappa (2014) – Orange Cap Winner & IPL Champion

Robin Uthappa was the backbone of Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) title-winning run in last year's IPL. He scored 660 runs in 16 matches, winning the Orange Cap as the tournament's highest run-scorer. His consistent performances provided Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with explosive starts, helping them clinch their second title in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

2. RP Singh (2009) – Purple Cap Winner & IPL Champion

Former India pacer RP Singh was instrumental in Deccan Chargers' title-winning campaign in IPL 2009. With 23 wickets in 16 matches, he finished as the season's leading wicket-taker, earning the Purple Cap. His bowling played a key role in Deccan Chargers securing their maiden IPL trophy, making him the first Indian player to achieve this remarkable feat.

3. Ruturaj Gaikwad (2021) – Orange Cap Winner & IPL Champion

Young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad delivered a breakthrough season for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2021. He scored 635 runs in 16 matches, including one century and four fifties, to claim the Orange Cap. His contributions played a crucial role in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) championship-winning campaign, and his performances earned him the franchise's trust as a future captaincy prospect.
