With 22 wickets, Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel currently leads the race for the IPL 2025 Purple Cap.
In the very first season of the IPL in 2008, Pakistan’s Sohail Tanvir, playing for Rajasthan Royals, won the inaugural Purple Cap. He took an impressive 22 wickets in just 11 matches, helping the Royals become the first-ever IPL champions. Tanvir’s best bowling figures of 6/14 against Chennai Super Kings remained the best in the IPL for over a decade.
The renowned Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga added his name to the list of Purple Cap winners in 2011, picking up 28 wickets from 16 games. This was the best individual haul in a single IPL season at the time.
The IPL Purple Cap has become a symbol of excellence for the tournament’s top bowlers. From the Pakistani speedster Sohail Tanvir to the legendary Lasith Malinga, and from the all-rounder Dwayne Bravo to the Indian pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the winners of this coveted award have etched their names in the annals of IPL history.
As the IPL continues to captivate audiences worldwide, the Purple Cap will undoubtedly remain one of the most prestigious individual honors, recognizing the finest bowlers who have showcased their exceptional skills and talent on the biggest T20 stage.
