Indian T20 League 2025 Purple Cap
What is Purple Cap in IPL
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Purple Cap recognizes the consistency of a bowler throughout a particular tournament. The IPL recognizes the best wicket-taker in a given season through the Purple Cap award.
The inaugural IPL season in 2008 saw Sohail Tanvir, the Pakistani left-arm pacer, claim the first Purple Cap. Since then, pacers like Lasith Malinga, Kagiso Rabada, and Dwayne Bravo, along with spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal and Imran Tahir, have won the award.
