IPL 2025: Purple cap updated list after CSK vs RR Match 11

The race for the Purple Cap in IPL 2025 is becoming more intense with each match, as bowlers continue to make their mark in the tournament. After the electrifying contest between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 11, the standings have seen significant changes, with some bowlers maintaining their dominance while others have risen through the ranks.

At the top of the leaderboard is Noor Ahmad from Chennai Super Kings, who has been exceptional with the ball, picking up 9 wickets in 3 matches while maintaining an economy rate of 6.83. His ability to control the middle overs and consistently take wickets has played a crucial role in CSK’s success so far. He has been a nightmare for batters, using his variations and accuracy to great effect.

Following closely behind is Delhi Capitals’ Mitchell Starc, who has delivered a remarkable performance in the limited opportunities he has had so far. Having played just 2 matches, Starc has already taken 8 wickets, including a five-wicket haul, proving why he is considered one of the most dangerous fast bowlers in the world. However, his economy rate of 10.04 suggests that while he has been lethal in taking wickets, he has also been expensive at times.

Another standout performer in the tournament so far has been Khaleel Ahmed, who also plays for Chennai Super Kings. With 6 wickets in 3 matches and an economy rate of 7.92, he has provided excellent support to Noor Ahmad in CSK’s bowling attack. His ability to bowl well under pressure and execute yorkers in the death overs has been instrumental in restricting opposition teams.

Lucknow Super Giants' Shardul Thakur has also been impressive, matching Khaleel Ahmed’s tally with 6 wickets in 2 matches. With an economy rate of 8.83, he has been slightly more expensive but has the ability to strike at crucial moments, often breaking partnerships that could otherwise turn the game in the opposition’s favor.

Kuldeep Yadav from Delhi Capitals has also made his presence felt in the Purple Cap race, having taken 5 wickets in 2 matches at a highly economical rate of 5.25. His consistent performances have made him a key asset for Delhi, and his ability to deceive batters with his variations continues to be a major strength.

Josh Hazlewood of Royal Challengers Bangalore finds himself in a similar position, having taken 5 wickets in 2 matches with an impressive economy of 5.38. His experience and control with the new ball, along with his ability to maintain pressure in the death overs, have proven to be invaluable for RCB.

Wanindu Hasaranga, representing Rajasthan Royals, has also made a mark with 5 wickets in 2 matches. However, his economy rate of 9.86 suggests that while he has been a wicket-taking option, he has also been expensive. Despite this, his variations and ability to deliver breakthroughs make him a crucial part of Rajasthan’s bowling attack.

Chennai’s Matheesha Pathirana and Gujarat’s R Sai Kishore have both taken 4 wickets each, showing glimpses of brilliance in their spells. Pathirana’s raw pace and ability to bowl at the death have made him an exciting prospect, while Sai Kishore’s accuracy and control have helped Gujarat restrict opponents effectively.

Yash Dayal from Royal Challengers Bangalore rounds off the top 10, having picked up 3 wickets in 2 matches while maintaining a disciplined economy rate of 7.17. His role in Bangalore’s bowling unit has been crucial, providing important breakthroughs and keeping the pressure on batters in key situations.
