Purple Cap in IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders edged out Delhi Capitals in a high-scoring IPL 2025 encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. KKR posted 204/9 and then restricted the Axar Patel-led DC to 190/9 to win the match by 14 runs.

While the batsmen provided the fireworks, the contest saw a total of 18 wickets fall. In this article, we take a look at the changes in race for Purple Cap...

Hot on Hazlewood's heels is Gujarat Titans' Prasidh Krishna, with 17 wickets in 9 matches. The Indian pacer boasts an impressive bowling average of 16.05 and a slightly better economy of 7.80 compared to Hazlewood. Krishna's strike rate of 12.35 is almost identical to the Aussie, highlighting his ability to consistently trouble the batsmen. With two 3-wicket hauls and one 4-wicket haul (4/41 being his best), Krishna has been a vital cog in the GT bowling attack.

While pace dominates the top two spots, spin is making its presence felt. Chennai Super Kings' Afghanistani spinner, Noor Ahmad, is currently third with 14 wickets in 9 matches. His bowling average of 17.78 and economy of 8.03 showcase his effectiveness in controlling the middle overs. Ahmad's best figures of 4/18 highlight his potential to turn the game on its head. Alongside Ahmad, Varun Chakaravarthy of KKR sits at fifth position with 13 wickets in 10 matches. He has an impressive economy of 7.15, but his strike rate of 18.00 suggests he's more about containment than outright aggression.

Delhi Capitals' Mitchell Starc finds himself in fourth position with 14 wickets in 10 matches. While he has a five-wicket haul to his name (5/35), his economy of 10.16 is a cause for concern. His bowling average of 26.14 and strike rate of 15.42 are also significantly higher than the other contenders.
