IPL 2022 Purple Cap: Kuldeep Yadav edges closer to top spot as race among bowlers heats up

SportsTak

Current Purple Cap holder Yuzvendra Chahal will find the race for the top spot heating up as Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner Kuldeep Yadav edges closer to the Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner after picking up one wicket against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, May 5. 

 

The duo known as KulCha have returned to their best form after underwhelming 2021 IPL seasons for both spinners, and they are pushing themselves to perform at their highest potential. Meanwhile, Khaleel Ahmed is back in the top 10 after a brilliant 3/25 weakened the SRH and led his team to a 21-run victory over his former side.
