Noor Ahmad maintained his position as the leading wicket-taker in the IPL 2025 season, earning the coveted Purple Cap after the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The young bowler from Chennai Super Kings has taken 24 wickets in 14 matches, with an impressive economy rate of 8.16 and an average of 17.00. Trailing behind him is Prasidh Krishna from Gujarat Titans, who has claimed 23 scalps in the same number of games.
The top five list of leading wicket-takers also includes Trent Boult from Mumbai Indians, Josh Hazlewood from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Arshdeep Singh from Punjab Kings. Boult has taken 19 wickets with an economy rate of 8.46, while Hazlewood and Singh both have 18 wickets each. Hazlewood missed the recent match, giving Boult a chance to maintain his position.
However, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualifying for the Playoffs, Hazlewood still has a chance to claim the Purple Cap if he remains fit and continues to perform well. The competition for the top spot is intense, and it will be interesting to see how the bowlers fare in the upcoming matches.
The updated list of leading wicket-takers after the LSG vs RCB match on May 27 showcases the talent and skill of these bowlers in the IPL 2025 season. Fans can expect more thrilling performances as the tournament progresses towards its climax.
