One of the most intriguing things about IPL since its inception is the musical chairs between the players for both the caps, orange and purple, when the tournament is going on. These caps change heads quite frequently over these two months and it is not often that a player gets to hold either of the two for a long time until the end of the league. Noor Ahmad - The Afghan sensation Just a day after Shardul Thakur put the purple cap on his head with a 4-er against SRH, it has been taken away from him as the 20-year old Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad has gone to the top playing for CSK. 🚨 DREAM RUN FOR NOOR 🚨4 Wickets in the 1st Match3 Wickets in the 2nd MatchCurrent Purple Cap Holder of IPL 2025!pic.twitter.com/Qr4dpTptGE — CricketGully (@thecricketgully) March 28, 2025 Also read: Kohli roars back in style: Wakes up after being hit on the helmet and parks the next one over the fence Noor picked up 4/18 in CSK's season opener against arch-rivals MI which included the huge wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma. Now, in CSK's second match against RCB, Noor had added some more big names in his kitty as he has finished with figures of 3/36 in his 4 overs taking his tally to 7 wickets in 2 games and on top of the purple cap leaderboard. Kohli - Noor's biggest scalp It doesn't get bigger than dismissing Virat Kohli in the IPL and that is exactly what Noor managed to do as he had the big man hole out at mid-wicket after strangling him for most parts of his innings. Huge wickets of the English dup Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone make up the other two in Noor's 3-er today as he now has the purple cap on his head. 🚨 DREAM RUN FOR NOOR 🚨4 Wickets in the 1st Match3 Wickets in the 2nd MatchCurrent Purple Cap Holder of IPL 2025!pic.twitter.com/Qr4dpTptGE — CricketGully (@thecricketgully) March 28, 2025
