IPL 2022 Purple Cap: Kuldeep Yadav back at no.3 as Chahal rigid at pole position

SportsTak

KulCha magic continues to dominate Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 bowler's list as Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Yuzvendra Chahal dons the coveted Purple Cap with as many as 23 wickets in a total of 12 matches which is topped with a fiery fifer and a handsome hat-trick. On Wednesday, he added one more wicket to his wicket's tally with a spell of 43/1.

 

Following him is Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) Wanindu Hasaranga who has snared 21 wickets in 12 matches riding on a brilliant 5/18 against Sunrisers Hyderabad few days back. 

 

Closing on him is Delhi Capitals' (DC) Kuldeep Yadav, who rose to third place by displacing Punjab Kings' (PBKS) Kagiso Rabada as both the bowlers have 18 wickets but with a better economy rate Kuldeep took the upper hand.

 

Meanwhile, with 17 wickets in his kitty in nine matches, Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) T Natarajan secured fifth place. His teammate Umran Malik has suffered an ouster from the top-10 bowler's list with the entry of Gujarat Titans' (GT) star all-rounder Rashid Khan, who has 15 wickets in 12 matches to grab 10th spot.
