Who will adorn the Purple Cap in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022? We will get the answer by the end of the season, but the purple cap battle between Kuldeep Yadav of Delhi Capitals and Yuzvendra Chahal of Rajasthan Royals continues. Kuldeep Yadav took four wickets against his old franchise team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday and now there is only one wicket gap between him and Chahal this season. Kuldeep, who became the man of the match, has won the hearts of cricket fans with his bowling as well as his words.
Regarding the competition with Chahal, Kuldeep said, ‘I have never had a competition with Chahal. He is like my elder brother, and has always supported me. When I was injured, he boosted my morale. I sincerely wish him to win the Purple Cap this season. Kuldeep and Chahal have given many match winning performances for India. Their pair is called ‘Kulcha’. Kuldeep has been out of Team India for some time due to poor form, but the way he is bowling this season, it seems that soon he will get a chance to play for Team India too.
Kuldeep said about Shreyas Iyer’s wicket, ‘I thought the ball had touched the bat, but the ball touched the ground, but when Rishabh Pant took the help of the third umpire, I was confident that he was out. Shreyas was batting well, so that wicket was very important for us. Iyer was dismissed for 42 runs off 37 balls. Talking about the match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scored 146 for 9 in 20 overs and Delhi Capitals scored 150 for six in 19 overs to win the match.
