Purple Cap is now with Bumrah

On April 8th, Mustafizur Rahman of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) took 2 wickets against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a match, securing the Purple Cap for himself. He was leading with 9 wickets.

However, that changed hands twice yesterday. On April 10th, Rajasthan Royals' Yuzvendra Chahal took 2 wickets against the Gujarat Titans in Jaipur. With that, Chahal, by topping with 10 wickets, became the leading wicket-taker in the tournament. Understandably, he retained the Purple Cap.

But yesterday (April 11th), in Wangkhede, Jasprit Bumrah of the Mumbai Indians took 5 wickets against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), becoming the owner of the Purple Cap.

Having taken 9 wickets in 4 innings, Mustafizur Rahman is now at number 3 on the list of wicket-takers. Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal, with 10 wickets each, have played 5 matches.
