Purple Cap - (Source: @ Johns/X.com)
It has been a great Sunday in IPL 2025 for the bowlers as wickets are tumbling like dominos and 200 runs mark has seemed like a far-fetched idea. Talking about wickets, Mitchell Starc hogged the limelight as he bagged a five-wicket haul for DC against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
With the feat, Starc took his wicket tally to 8 in two matches and was presented with the purple cap after the match for being the leading wicket-taker in the tournament. However, in the ongoing match between CSK and RR, Noor Ahmad has again spread his magic and took Sanju Samson's wicket.
With the dismissal, Noor too took his tally to eight wickets in three matches. Now it has left the fans questioning as to which will player will don the purple cap if both the stars end up with 8 wickets after the match.
Who Gets The Purple Cap If 2 Bowlers Have Same Wicket?
Well for the unversed, according to IPL rules, the player with better economy rate is the one who gets the purple cap. In this scenario, Mitchell Starc has bowled with an economy of 10.04.
Meanwhile, Noor Ahmad has clocked an economy of just 6.40. Thus, if he ends RR vs CSK match with eight wickets, then Noor will have the purple cap.
