IPL 2024 Most Wickets, Purple Cap Holder: Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel snapped three wickets against his former franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru to topple Jasprit Bumrah at the top of the wickets tally and become the holder of the purple cap.

Harshal now has 20 wickets, and has become the first bowler to do so this season. The former RCB bowler had won the purple cap in the 2021 season when he equalled Dwayne Bravo’s record for most wickets in a single IPL season – 32.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ Jasprit Bumrah – who held the purple cap previously – is now second in the tally with 17 scalps from 12 games.

Also in the race for the purple cap are Kolkata Knight Riders’ Varun Chakravarthy, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s T Natarajan and Punjab Kings’ Arshdeep Singh.
