Most Wicket Taking Bowler in the Tournament
Purple Cap Winner of the IPL 2020 is Jasprit Bumrah. The Purple Cap award is the award given to the bowler who takes most of the wickets in a season. During the tournament, the top bowler gets the owner to put on the cap throughout the season and at the end, the one who takes the most wickets receives an award for being the best.
