The Purple Cap is awarded to the top wicket-taker in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Introduced in 2008, it honors the player with the most wickets at season’s end. In case of a tie in wicket count, the bowler with the better average prevails. If still tied, the one with fewer overs bowled wins. Renowned recipients include Lasith Malinga and Sunil Narine, highlighting its significance as a prestigious accolade for bowlers.
