Updated – Purple Cap Winners in IPL (2008 – 2025)

IPL Purple Cap Winner: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most popular and respected sporting events in the world. The tournament is held annually and is combined with domestic and international players working to cancel the dream IPL trophy.

IPL follows T20 format. It includes short and fast innings of just 20 games, with matches completed in a few hours. Although most people watch the dramatic chase and electric strikes of IPL, bowling can be just as exciting. Even with fewer players, the bowlers took the girl’s blow and got a hat trick.

The highest wicket in the IPL is awarded a purple hat every year. This trend has been followed since the IPL was founded in 2008. Cricket legends like Lasith Malinga are just a handful of players who win the purple hat. The following article covers the full list of IPL Purple Cap winners from 2008 to 2025, as well as records for the current IPL season.

List of IPL Purple Cap Winners (2008-2025)

In a specific season in the IPL, the Purple Hat Award was awarded to the highest ticket inspectors, and throughout the game, the hat holder changes until the end. A bizarre scene where the final purple block title comes from a team that didn’t compete or even qualify for the finals has happened many times. This unpredictability is part of the reason for the excitement surrounding IPL. But, for fans, it’s interesting to make the players heartbreaking. However, cricket is a team game and individual efforts do not mean anything unless the entire team performs at the same level. You can view details of all IPL Purple Cap winners here.
