Prasidh Krishna from Gujarat leads the pack with 16 wickets in just 8 matches. His economy rate of 7.29 and consistency with the new ball and at the death have made him an irreplaceable asset for his side. Following closely are Kuldeep Yadav (Delhi) and Noor Ahmad (Chennai), both with 12 wickets each. Kuldeep's 6.5 economy stands out as the best among the top 10, showing his dominance in the middle overs.

Chennai’s Noor Ahmad continues to impress with his tight spells and timely breakthroughs. His 12 wickets in 27 overs at an economy of 7.67 have given his team much-needed control. Gujarat’s spin attack is bolstered by Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, who also has 12 wickets and has been a surprise package this season.

Veterans like Josh Hazlewood and Mohammed Siraj, representing Bangalore and Gujarat respectively, remain vital to their teams' bowling units. Both have also picked up 12 wickets, with Hazlewood being particularly effective with his bounce and control, while Siraj’s aggression and pace have paid dividends, even though his economy is slightly on the higher side at 8.84.

Mumbai Indians’ Hardik Pandya also finds himself in the top bracket with 12 wickets and is the only bowler in the list with a five-wicket haul. Despite his slightly expensive economy rate of 9.08, his ability to strike in crucial moments has kept MI in contention in multiple matches.

Lucknow’s Shardul Thakur, although sharing the same number of wickets, has been on the more expensive side with an economy of 11.2, raising concerns about his consistency. Punjab’s Arshdeep Singh and Kolkata’s Harshit Rana round off the top 10, both with 11 wickets each.

As the league phase heads toward its final stretch, the battle for the Purple Cap remains open and competitive. With each match, the margins for error shrink, and bowlers will be under the spotlight to deliver their best in the business end of the tournament.
