Top 5 Bowlers Set To Win The IPL 2024 Purple Cap
Yuzvendra Chahal @ 187 Wickets
The winning IPL wicket taker with 187 wickets to his name, Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the most tricky leg spinners to date. Since he has been a part of the IPL since 2013, he has previously represented Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals.
He bowled with precision and accuracy in all his 144 IPL innings and made his opponent batters confused with his variations. His unique wins include picking up 4 – wicket hauls 6 times and 1 5 – wicket haul. He also won the Purple Cap previously in IPL 2022 when he was playing for the Rajasthan Royals.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar @ 170 Wickets
The second bowler on this list is Bhuvneshwar Kumar with his 170 wickets. He has won the Purple Cap twice, in 2016 and 2017 consecutively with his exceptional skills. He has restricted the batters during the end overs and powerplay of an innings. He has been a part of the Indian Premier League since 2011, and he bowled with an economy rate of 7.39.
He scored 170 wickets in the 160 IPL innings when he played for the SunRisers Hyderabad and Pune Warriors. His unique wins also include scoring 2 4 – wicket hauls and 2 5 – wicket hauls.
Jasprit Bumrah @ 145 Wickets
Jasprit magically won the hearts of cricket aficionados when he picked 3 wickets against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). It was even more surprising that one of those wickets was of Virat Kohli. With only 120 innings, he knocked up 145 wickets for the Mumbai Indians (MI) and has been an exceptional asset to the team.
While he has yet to win a Purple Cap, he joined Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2013 and has hidden talents to keep the opponent batter on his toes. This is why starpunternews predicts that his form is of crucial importance if the Mumbai franchise (MI) is to win its 6th title in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Rashid Khan @ 139 Wickets
Coming in the 4th position is Rashid Khan with 139 wickets. Called the spin wizard, he is a hard opponent to beat. He knocked up 139 wickets in the 109 Indian Premier League (IPL) innings when he was playing for the SunRisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans.
