CSK’s Anshul Kamboj could not improve his tally in Chennai Super Kings’ eight wicket defeat to Gujarat Titans on Sunday, but the pacer continues to lead the IPL 2026 Purple Cap leaderboard.
Kamboj is level on 14 wickets from eight matches with SRH’s Eshan Malinga, but has a better economy rate than Malinga.
Jofra Archer, Prince Yadav, and Kagiso Rabada close out the top five with 13 wickets each.
Here are the current standings for the IPL 2026 Purple Cap:
