IPL Purple Cap Winner: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most famous and revered sporting events in the world. The tournament is held every year and involves local and international players as they attempt to lift the coveted IPL trophy.
IPL follows the T20 format. It consists of short and fast-paced innings with only 20 overs and the match is completed in a few hours. While most people watch IPL for the dramatic chases and electric batting, bowling can be just as exciting. Even with fewer overs, bowlers still got their first overs and scored hattricks.

List of IPL Purple Hat winners (2008 – 2023)
The Purple Cap award is given to the person who takes the highest number of wickets in a particular season of the IPL and the holder of this cap changes throughout the tournament till its conclusion. A strange scenario in which the eventual winner of the Purple Hats turned out to be from a team that did not compete or even qualify for the finals has occurred several times. This unpredictability is partly responsible for the excitement surrounding the IPL. But what brings joy to the fans can cause heartache for the players. However, cricket is a team sport 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.
