Top 5 players who can win the Purple Cap in IPL 2026
With the IPL almost underway, let us take a look at five players who could win the purple cap in 2026.
1) Jasprit Bumrah - Mumbai Indians
The ever-reliable Jasprit Bumrah. With 14 wickets in the T20 World Cup, joint highest in the tournament, Bumrah showed the value that he adds to the teams that he plays. His economy of 6.21 showed that not only does he get batters out but also makes it difficult for them to score.
Brought onto the scene by the Mumbai Indians in 2013, Bumrah is now the leader of the Indian team’s attack in all formats. Mumbai will need him at his best if they are to finally edge past arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings and become the team with the most IPL titles. Is this finally going to be the season where he wins the Purple Cap, a very visible miss in the CV of this fast-bowling great?
