IPL 2025: Updated Purple Cap table after CSK vs SRH Match 43

As the IPL 2025 season progresses into its crucial final phase, the battle for the Purple Cap is intensifying, with bowlers stepping up to make a difference for their respective franchises. Following Match 43 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the leaderboard has seen some key shifts, and the race for the top wicket-taker remains wide open.

Leading the pack is Gujarat Titans' pacer Prasidh Krishna, who has maintained his spot at the summit with 16 wickets in 8 matches. His disciplined line and length, coupled with subtle variations, have made him a constant threat, reflected in his economy rate of 7.29, one of the best among the top wicket-takers. Krishna's ability to strike in the powerplay and at the death has been instrumental in Gujarat’s success this season.

Tied with him on wickets is Josh Hazlewood of Royal Challengers Bangalore, also sitting on 16 scalps from 9 games. Though slightly more expensive with an economy of 8.38, Hazlewood’s knack for delivering breakthroughs in the middle overs has been vital for RCB. His height and bounce continue to trouble batters across venues.

Rising star Noor Ahmad of CSK holds the third spot with 14 wickets from 9 matches. The Afghan spinner’s deceptive googlies and clever pace changes have troubled some of the best batters in the league. Though his economy rate is over 8, his wicket-taking ability has made him a go-to option for MS Dhoni during crunch moments.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Harshal Patel follows closely with 13 wickets in 8 outings. Known for his crafty slower balls, Harshal has maintained his status as a T20 specialist, despite going for over 9 runs per over this season. His ability to outfox batters under pressure remains his biggest asset.

A host of bowlers are tied with 12 wickets, including Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav, Gujarat’s R Sai Kishore and Mohammed Siraj, Bangalore’s Krunal Pandya, Chennai’s Khaleel Ahmed, and Mumbai’s Hardik Pandya. Kuldeep stands out for his economy of 6.5, the best among the lot, underlining his value in containing runs while picking key wickets.

As we approach the business end of the tournament, the race for the Purple Cap looks poised for a dramatic finish. With bowlers playing a crucial role in defining match outcomes, the coming games will be key in determining who ends up donning the coveted cap.
