The IPL 2025 season is coming to an end on 03 June 2025, and one of the most exciting things to watch in IPL is the battle for the Purple Cap, which is an award that is given to the bowler with the most wickets in the tournament. With every match, bowlers stepped up, turning games around, and made the race for the top spot even more exciting.
The Purple Cap has been around since the first IPL in 2008. While batters fight for the Orange Cap (for most runs), the Purple Cap is all about taking crucial wickets, breaking partnerships, and showing consistency with the ball. Big names like Lasith Malinga, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Dwayne Bravo, and Kagiso Rabada have all won it in past seasons.
This year, the competition is just as thrilling. Prasidh Krishna, playing for Gujarat Titans, has been one of the top performers. He has already taken 41 wickets in 25 matches, and his smart bowling has helped Gujarat Titans to win crucial matches throughout the season.
