Just like the batsmen get their due in the form of Orange Cap, the bowlers also are rewarded with Purple Cap for finishing as the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Although IPL 2017 began on note of injuries, there were some players who helped their teams flourish. Surprisingly, the spinners have come out in flying colours in this edition. One of the notable names in the list was Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, for whom it is nothing less than a dream come true.
