IPL's Orange Cap Winners: Where are they now?

2013 - Michael Hussey (Chennai Super Kings)

Mike Hussey was an extremely instrumental player in the Chennai Super Kings' success in the early years of the IPL. He had been a stellar performer for the franchise every year since its inception and reached his peak in 2013 when he ended up as the highest run-getter and won the orange cap. Like his Australia and Chennai Super Kings teammate Matthew Hayden, Hussey won the orange cap the year he retired for international cricket.

He played in the IPL for two more seasons - in 2014 for the Mumbai Indians and in 2015 for the Chennai Super Kings again. While he did not play in the IPL further, he did play in other leagues such as the Big Bash and the Caribbean Premier League until 2016, post which he retired from all forms of cricket.

Ahead of the 2018 season of the IPL, Hussey rekindled his association with the Chennai Super Kings and was appointed as the batting coach of the side, a role which he still serves in. Additionally, he regularly serves as a commentator and an analyst for various broadcasters around the world.
