It is not unusual for an iPad or its Power Adapter to become warm (or very warm) when being used or during charging - more so when using some types of iPad case. High screen brightness and/or CPU intensive Apps will also create more heat. The key point is that whilst your iPad and Power Adapter may become very warm in normal use, neither should become uncomfortably hot to handle.
Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue.
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the iPad continues to become unexpectedly hot, you should seek assistance directly from from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:
