Indian Premier League Purple Cap Winners List from 2008 to 2025 Season: Gujarat Titans ace pacer Prasidh Krishna ended a fine season with the ball to win the Purple Cap in the Indian Premier League 2025 after taking 25 wickets. His economy rate was 8.27 while the average lay under 20. His best bowling figures were 4/41.
Gujarat Titans finished third in the standings, earning a spot in the playoffs. They were beaten by the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator before Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended an 18-year wait to lift their maiden IPL after beating Punjab Kings by 6 runs in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. After reaching IPL finals on three different occasions — 2009, 2011, and 2016 — this was the first time when RCB lifted the IPL title. For Punjab, it was their second loss in the final after Kolkata Knight Riders beat them in 2014.
Chennai Super Kings’ 10cr signing Noor Ahmad was second in the list with 24 scalps this year, while instrumental in RCB’s title-winning run, Josh Hazlewood is third alongside Mumbai Indians’ gun pacer Trent Boult. Both of them have picked up 22 wickets each.
This is the second instance where a GT bowler has won the Purple Cap. Earlier, Mohammed Shami picked 28 wickets in 17 matches to win the Purple Cap in 2023. GT did the double in both the most run-getters list and the highest wicket-takers list. Apart from Krishna’s Purple Cap, GT opener Sai Sudharan scored 759 runs to win the Orange Cap.
