While the Indian Premier League is popular for the big-hitting batsmen, there is one motivation that keeps the bowlers going. The bowler, who ends up with the most number of wickets at the end of the season, wins the Purple Cap. In the 11 years of the league, it’s always been the best bowler of the tournament that has won the Purple Cap.
The bats have gotten bigger and the batsmen have become muscular. The game has turned more in favor of the batsmen. But IPL is one tournament where the bowlers have shown the skills to restrict the batsmen. IPL is in its 12th season now. The pacers, as well as spinners, would battle to finish at the top. We will find out in a few days time who ends up with the Purple Cap.
