Kagiso Rabada claims IPL's Purple Cap
Protea fast bowler tops 2020 season wicket tally.
Kagiso Rabada won the Indian Premier League's (IPL) coveted 'Purple Cap' for his efforts with the Delhi Capitals for the 2020 campaign.
The honour is bestowed upon the season's leading wicket taker in the tournament with Rabada topping the board with 30 wickets taken, 3 more than Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah, who briefly lead the rankings before Kagiso's last rally (in the two final game of the tournament) to obtain the top title.
Recently, the prolific fast bowler received a national call up to join the 24-man Proteas squad that will face off with England in one of three T20 matches that will kick off on home soil later this month.
Rabada’s fellow Red Bull athlete, KL Rahul, managed to secure the ‘Orange Cap’ - given to the leading run-scorer of the IPL season.
