IPL Purple Cap Winners List: There are many awards in the Indian Premier League and one of the key ones is the Purple Cap, which has been conferred since the first edition of the IPL to the highest wicket taker. You can check the list of all purple cap winners in IPL history from 2008 to 2023 here, along with the current purple cap holder.
IPL Purple Cap Winners: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most popular and revered sports events in the world. The tournament is organized annually and features a mix of domestic and international players as they strive to lift the coveted IPL trophy.
The IPL follows a T20 format. It includes short and fast-paced innings of only 20 overs, and the match is finished in a few hours. Although most people watch the IPL for the dramatic chases and electric batting, the bowling can be equally exciting. Even with the fewer overs, bowlers have delivered maiden overs and scored hattricks.
The highest wicket-taker in the IPL is awarded the Purple Cap every year. This trend has been followed since the inception of the IPL in 2008. Cricket legends like Lasith Malinga are just a few of the players who have won the Purple Cap. The following article covers the entire list of IPL Purple Cap winners from 2008 to 2023, along with records of the current IPL season.

IPL Purple Cap Winners List (2008 – 2023)
The Purple Cap award is given to the highest wicket-taker in a particular season of the IPL, and the holder of the cap changes throughout the tournament until the end. A bizarre scenario in which the final Purple Cap winner turns out to be from a team that didn’t play or even failed to qualify for the finals has happened many times.
This unpredictability is partly responsible for the excitement surrounding IPL. But what’s fun for fans can be heartbreaking for the players. Nonetheless, cricket is a team game, and individual efforts don’t mean anything unless the entire team is performing on the same level.
