How is Orange Cap award decided?

The Orange Cap is presented to the highest run scorer of a particular edition of the Indian Premier League. At the end of the season, including the playoffs, the batter who scores the most runs is presented with the award, which is in the shape of a cap and is Orange in colour.

If two batters are tied in total runs scored, then the batter with the highest strike rate would win the award.
