IPL Purple Cap Winners: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most popular and revered sporting events in the world. The tournament is organized annually and features a mix of domestic and international players striving to lift the coveted IPL trophy.
The IPL follows a T20 format. It includes short and quick innings of just 20 overs, and the match is completed within a few hours. While most people watch the IPL for the dramatic chases and electric batting, bowling can be equally exciting. Even with fewer overs, the bowlers have hit maidens and scored hat-tricks.

List of IPL Purple Cap Winners (2008-2023)
The Purple Cap award is given to the player with the highest wicket-taking ability in a particular IPL season, and the holder of the cap changes throughout the tournament until the end. A strange scenario where the final winner of the Purple Cap turns out to be from a team that did not play or even qualify for the finals has occurred many times. This unpredictability is partly responsible for the hype surrounding the IPL. But what’s fun for fans can be heartbreaking for players. However, cricket is a team game and individual efforts mean nothing unless the entire team performs at the same level. You can see details of all IPL Purple Cap winners here every year.
