Chennai Super Kings (CSK) dug themselves a deeper grave after their 11-run loss to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. However, they had individual players who did well for them, including West Indian star Dwayne Bravo.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals' (RR) spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal continues to dominate with his exceptional bowling in IPL 2022. He is in pole position in the Purple Cap race. The 31-year-old spinner has scalped 18 wickets in seven matches for RR this season, but is closely followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer T Natarajan.
Natarajan is sitting on the second spot with 15 while Delhi Capitals' (DC) Kuldeep Yadav has moved a spot down to fourth to give place to Bravo. The Indian bowlers are totally dominating the top-10 list of the bowlers who are vying for Purple Cap as eight of them have already made their way into the list.
