Like every other IPL year, IPL 2022 has been extremely fascinating and also very exciting. We saw a lot of records being broken and new records by players. That’s what makes this tournament amazing. This isn’t just about the team’s points table that players follow but also the individual performances players have been putting up in the IPL which is why everyone follows the orange and purple cap leaderboards. Today, we’ll be discussing specifically those who will be the Purple as well as Orange Cap winners in IPL 2022. We’ll get started.
Purple Cap Winner in IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal
Sure, during IPL 2022 Yuzvendra Chahal had the distinction of being the top wicket-taker of the tournament, but he was not playing with his former side, RCB. In IPL 2022’s auctions, he was purchased from Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals, and that year, he was awarded his first ever purple cap picking up 27 wickets. These weren’t ordinary wickets. These were massive wickets, and most were in very important do-or-die contests. You’ll surely remember his finest performance from the IPL 2022 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in which he took five wickets in a serious game. It initially seems odd that Yuzvendra Chahal was able to win the purple cap only once, and it’s solely due to the fact that in IPL time, he has been the top wicket-taker and has 213 wickets to his credit at the time of 2025.
In the 18th season of the IPL He’s playing for the team that is Punjab Kings, and we saw a impressive performance against KKR in which he picked up four wickets, and was instrumental to defend the lowest number of wickets in the history IPL.
Orange Cap Winner in IPL 2022: Jos Buttler
As it was the IPL 2022 started, no anyone would have predicted the possibility that Jos Buttler would be promoted at the top of the list of orange caps. Why? In the beginning his journey through this year’s IPL was slow, but not bad However, after a while he began changing gears and literally, he won the team (Rajasthan Royals) an important match. In IPL 2022 the player scored 863 runs, with an astonishing rate of 57.53. A fascinating fact is that he was one of the few foreign players in history of the IPL to achieve 4 centuries in a single season. Another interesting aspect of it is the fact that it was only Virat Kohli is the only player to have done this in the past, in which he also scored four hundredths as part of the IPL.
Since IPL 2025, however, Jos Buttler is no anymore in the team of Rajasthan Royals; well, currently, he’s a an integral part of his own Gujarat Titans team, and so far, he’s been doing pretty well.
