Singh, who has been a revelation for PBKS this season, scalped a crucial four wickets for just 29 runs in his four overs against SRH. This impressive haul propelled him from outside the top three to a joint-second position alongside Yuzvendra Chahal, both with eight wickets.
Mustafizur Rahman, the CSK spearhead, continues to hold onto the Purple Cap with nine wickets in his four matches so far. His economical bowling and wicket-taking prowess have been instrumental in CSK’s strong start to the tournament.
Despite missing out on the top spot, Arshdeep Singh’s performance has sent a strong message. His ability to swing the new ball and pick up wickets at crucial junctures makes him a vital cog in the PBKS bowling attack. With several matches remaining, the race for the Purple Cap promises to be a thrilling battle between these leading contenders.
Other notable bowlers in the Purple Cap race include Khaleel Ahmed (DC) and Kagiso Rabada (PBKS), both tied at the fourth position with seven wickets each. As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see if any other bowlers can challenge the dominance of the current top performers.
