With already some magnificent performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the cash-rich tournament has been set ablaze by some excellent contributions that have stolen the show. After last night's win by Royal Challengers Bengaluru over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk in 8th match, we have a new name on the purple cap list.
The points table standings look favorable to the RCB side, who are at the pole position with four points after two games, while Rajasthan are at the bottom with losses in both their matches.
Despite their position on the points table, there have been some individual performances that have stolen the show and playing brilliantly for the side with bat and ball. Therefore, let's have a look at the current orange and purple cap holders in this edition of the IPL 2025.
