Gujarat’s Prasidh Krishna remains firmly at the top of the Purple Cap standings with 14 wickets from 7 matches. His pace, accuracy, and ability to strike during powerplay and death overs have made him Gujarat’s go-to bowler. With an economy of 7.44, Krishna continues to deliver impactful spells.

Kuldeep Yadav of Delhi holds onto the second spot with 12 wickets in 7 matches. His impeccable economy of 6.25 underlines his control and consistency in the middle overs. Kuldeep’s clever variations have consistently put batters under pressure.

A tight cluster followed in third place with Noor Ahmad (Chennai), Josh Hazlewood (Bangalore), and Shardul Thakur (Lucknow) all tied at 12 wickets each. Noor’s deceptive left-arm spin has proved tricky for opponents, while Hazlewood's precision and bounce have kept batters cautious. Thakur, though expensive with an economy of 11, has a knack for picking up crucial breakthroughs.

In sixth spot, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore from Gujarat has impressed with 11 wickets in just 20.5 overs. His left-arm spin has added variety to Gujarat’s attack. Sharing the seventh spot with him are Arshdeep Singh (Punjab), Mohammed Siraj (Gujarat), Khaleel Ahmed (Chennai), and Hardik Pandya (Mumbai), all with 11 wickets each.

Arshdeep and Siraj have bowled with aggression, though both have been slightly expensive. Khaleel has used angles well to disrupt top orders, while Hardik Pandya’s emergence as a reliable strike bowler has added to Mumbai’s bowling depth. Notably, Hardik’s five-wicket haul remains a standout performance of the season so far.

As the league heads toward its business end, the Purple Cap contest is heating up. With many matches left and multiple bowlers within striking distance, the battle for the top spot promises to be just as exciting as the fight for playoff positions.
