The Women’s Premier League (WPL) inaugurated by BCCI in 2023, was designed to elevate women’s cricket to new heights. WPL features some of the biggest stars from around the world, blending international icons with emerging domestic talents. 

The league has rapidly gained popularity, delivering high-intensity matches, record-breaking performances, and a platform for young cricketers to shine. 

With franchises backed by major IPL teams, packed stadiums, and millions of fans tuning in, the WPL is transforming women’s cricket into a global spectacle.

Why is Purple Cap given?

The Purple Cap in the WPL is awarded to the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. It is like the Purple Cap of the IPL and is an award for the best bowler performing throughout the season.

The bowler with the most wickets wears the Purple Cap during matches, and the final award is given at the end of the tournament. If multiple bowlers have the same number of wickets, the one with a better economy rate gets the cap.
