Bhuvneshwar Kumar Purple Cap: IPL is the most watched cricket league in the world. Now IPL 2025 is starting from March 22 and fans are eagerly waiting for it. The first match will be played between KKR and RCB. So far 17 seasons of IPL have been held and now the 18th season is about to start. But star fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has a record which is still intact in IPL and it is impossible for that record to be broken even in the upcoming season.

Had a strong performance in IPL 2016 :

This time in IPL season 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise bought Bhuvneshwar Kumar for Rs 10.75 crore and included him in their team. If we look at Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s IPL 2016 record, then Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the IPL season 2016 by taking 23 wickets in 17 matches while bowling fast for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 and also won the Purple Cap. The Purple Cap is given to the player who takes the most wickets in the entire IPL season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has so far played a total of 176 matches in the IPL and has taken 181 wickets. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also won the Purple Cap twice. Bhuvneshwar is especially known as a fast bowler. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls the ball at a speed of 125 to 135 kmph.

Bhuvneshwar’s record will remain intact in IPL 2025 :

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is such a bowler who has won the Purple Cap twice in a row in the IPL season on the basis of his bowling, the special thing in which is that till now in the history of IPL, no bowler has been able to win the Purple Cap twice in a row, whereas this time in IPL 2025, it is impossible to break his record because the winner of the Purple Cap in IPL 2024 was Harshal Patel. If Harshal Patel performs well in IPL 2025 this time and wins the Purple Cap, even then he will not be able to break Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s records, he will only be able to equal them and to break the record of this Purple Cap, a bowler will have to win the Purple Cap three times in a row in the IPL season, which is not so easy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has made these records in his name by winning the Purple Cap consecutively in IPL season 2016 IPL season 2017.
