At the end of the season, the Purple Cap is awarded to the bowler who takes the most wickets in the league. Some of the best foreign players and promising Indian bowlers are competing for this honour in IPL 2024. With 11 wickets in six matches, Rajasthan Royals’ Yuzvendra Chahal currently holds the IPL 2024 Purple Cap. The player who takes the most wickets during the tournament wears a purple cap on the field. However, only the bowler taking the most wickets at the end of the tournament will receive the Purple Cap. In case of a tie, the bowler with the better economy rate tops the list. A total of 14 bowlers from the last 16 editions have had the honour of winning the Purple Cap at the end of the season. IPL 2024 started on March 22 and the final will be played on May 26 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Here is an updated list of which players have taken the most wickets in IPL 2024.

Dwayne Bravo, who played for CSK in 2013 and 2015, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 and 2017, are the two bowlers who have won the Purple Cap twice.
