Who has the purple cap?
The purple cap of IPL 2024 is still with Jasprit Bumrah. There was hope that Harshal Patel or Mustafizur Rahman could make up for it by taking a wicket, but these players returned empty handed in the CSK vs PBKS match. In such a situation, Bumrah is still the number one bowler of this season. After Bumrah, there is CSK fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman and Punjab Kings fast bowler Harshal Patel, who have taken 14 wickets each. At number four is Mathisha Pathirana, who did not play against Punjab. He has taken 13 wickets in 6 matches.
