IPL 2021 Purple Cap race: Harshal Patel chasing history- RCB pacer now has 26 wickets from 11 matches. His nearest rival is Delhi Capitals Avesh Khan with 21 wickets from 12 matches.

  • Harshal Patel can rewrite IPL History by becoming the highest wicket-taker in 1 single season
  • He can go past Dwayne Bravo’s record of 32 wickets which is all-time record in IPL
  • RCB is yet to play 3 league games & possible matches in Playoffs
  • This gives enough time to Harshal Patel to rewrite the record.
  • Harshal Patel also took a hat-trick this IPL. He had achieved the landmark against MI. He will look to guide RCB to the maiden IPL title with his sensational spells.
  • Harshal Patel surpassed his teammate Yuzvendra Chahal to script the record- most wickets for an Indian in IPL season. Chahal had picked 23 wickets in 2015
  • However, Avesh Khan has a better economy rate of 7 as compared to Harshal Patel.

IPL 2021 Purple Cap race: Both Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel are the main reasons behind the success of DC and RCB. While DC have already booked their berth in the playoffs, RCB need a lone victory in the next three matches to book their spot for knockout matches.

Meanwhile, MI’s Jasprit Bumrah has also entered the Purple Cap race with 10 wickets in the last 4 matches. He has taken 16 wickets in 11 matches and Mumbai Indians will hope that he continues to deliver. Defending champions are yet to seal their berth in the IPL 2021 playoffs.
