The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most popular and toughest T20 league globally, and top players come to play together worldwide. Every season, at the end of the tournament, the bowler with the most wickets gets the Purple Cap, which is an award given to appreciate his performance over the season.
In the cricketing era, where most fans love to see players hitting sixes, the highest-scoring record keeps on breaking. Players like Rohit Sharma scoring three double centuries in ODI cricket take away the amount of effort the bowlers have to put in taking wickets. It’s getting harder for bowlers day by day because the pitches of the T20 and ODI are becoming more batting-friendly, which is rated as a good pitch, but when there is assistance to the bowlers, then it is rated as bad, which is a serious topic in today’s cricket because in the past there was a balance between bat and ball but now it’s all about sixes.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Dwayne Bravo are some of the finest IPL bowlers of the decade, having won the Purple Cap twice. Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the Purple cap for consecutive years in 2016 (23 wickets) and 2017 (26 wickets), an amazing feat for a medium pacer swing bowler. He is in the Sunrisers Hyderabad team, and right now, he is the most senior player for them in the 2024 season. On the other hand, Dwayne Bravo still holds the record alongside Harshal Patel in having the most wickets (32) in a single season, which he achieved during the 2013 season while playing for the Chennai Super Kings.
