Overview of IPL Purple Cap Winners and Rashid Khan's Pursuit

The Indian Premier League (IPL) awards the Purple Cap to the bowler with the most wickets each season. Since its inception in 2008, several bowlers have won this honor, with some securing it multiple times. Notably, Rashid Khan, despite being a leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket and playing for teams like SRH and GT, has yet to win the Purple Cap. The upcoming 2026 IPL season is set to begin on March 28, continuing this tradition.
