This year the race for the Purple Cap in IPL seems to be getting more interesting. Although at present Punjab Kings fast bowler Harshal Patel is at the top in this list and his lead is also considerable, but now that his team is out of the playoffs, his number of wickets will not increase. Meanwhile, KKR bowlers can match them, but they are far behind them.

Harshal Patel has taken 24 wickets so far

Harshal Patel has a purple cap on his head after the end of the league stage in IPL. He has taken 24 wickets in 14 matches. His team Punjab Kings is now out of the tournament. After this is Jasprit Bumrah of Mumbai Indians, who has taken 20 wickets in 13 matches. But now his number of wickets will not increase, because Mumbai is also out of the playoffs.

Arshdeep is at number three and Varun Chakraborty is at number four.

Arshdeep Singh of Punjab Kings has taken 19 wickets in 14 matches, he is in third place. His team is also out of the playoffs. After this comes Varun Chakraborty. He has taken 18 wickets in 13 matches so far, he can become a challenge for Harshal Patel. But here they will need at least 6 wickets.

Varun Chakraborty will get two more matches

The good thing for Varun Chakraborty is that he will now get a chance to play at least two more matches from here. His team has qualified for the playoffs by being number one. That is, his team will play the first qualifier. If the team wins this match, it will reach the final directly. That is, we will get one more match. But even if the team loses, it will get a chance to play in the second qualifier. That is, if he remains fit, he will get to play two matches from here in any case. In such a situation, if he takes 6 more wickets in two matches, he will become the Purple Cap holder.
