Purple Cap Winners History | Yuzvendra Chahal has Purple Cap 2022

The Purple Cap is an award given to the leading wicket-taker in the Indian Premier League (IPL) each season. It is named after its purple-colored cap with a golden star on it, which the leading wicket-taker wears while on the field during the matches. The Purple Cap was introduced in the IPL in 2008, and since then, it has been awarded every season. The cap is awarded to the bowler who takes the highest number of wickets throughout the tournament, including the playoffs. If two or more bowlers have the same number of wickets, the Purple Cap is awarded to the bowler with a better economy rate.

The Purple Cap is a symbol of excellence for the bowlers in the IPL, and it is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the tournament. It adds an extra incentive for bowlers to perform at their best and take as many wickets as possible during the season. Over the years, several bowlers have won the Purple Cap, including Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Dwayne Bravo, Lasith Malinga, and Imran Tahir, among others. In addition to the Purple Cap, the IPL also has several other awards, including the Orange Cap for the leading run-scorer, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, and the Fair Play award, among others.
