The IPL 2025 extravaganza started last weekend, and six teams have played each other since the tournament took off on March 22. Most of the teams have found their rhythm, while some are struggling to get some momentum. The tournament will get more and more intense, and teams that don’t pick themselves will surely be left behind at the end of the league stage.
Meanwhile, we have picked the top five highest wicket-takers. This list is updated after every IPL 2025 game. The highest wicket-taker at the end of the season will win the Purple Cap.
