The Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers have been top notch this season, defending even the most modest of totals. Their bowlers have done a tremendous job on almost every match-day. The fact that two of their bowlers (Siddarth Kaul and Rashid Khan) are in the top three in the list of highest wicket-takers is a perfect example of their dominant bowling display. Rashid was in red-hot form in both the Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2, finishing with figures of 2/11 and 3/19 respectively.

With 21 wickets, he is just three short of Kings XI Punjab's Andrew Tye for most wickets this season. If the Afghan star continues his great run in the finals, then he might fancy his chances of winning the Purple cap. He might also become only the second ever spinner to achieve this feat after Pragyan Ojha (Deccan Chargers in 2010).

Also in the race is the promising Indian pacer, Siddarth Kaul. He took four wickets in the last two games (Qualifier-1 and 2) and is also three short of Tye's 24 wickets. So, if he continues his dream run then he might be rewarded for his hard work with a Purple Cap.
