Despite ending wicketless in the recently concluded encounter between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, pace ace Jasprit Bumrah retained the top spot in the Purple Cap standings of the Indian Premier League season 2024 on Tuesday. Keeping things airtight for the Lucknow Super Giants in their successful run chase at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Indian pacer Bumrah conceded just 17 runs in his four overs. The T20 World Cup-bound fast bowler has taken 14 wickets in 10 matches for the five-time winners this season. Chennai Super Kings pacer Mustafizur Rahman and Punjab Kings star Harshal Patel have also picked up 14 wickets in the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league. With Bumrah ending the contest wicketless, Rahman and Patel can end the dominance of the MI pacer in the Purple Cap standings on Wednesday. Defending champions CSK will meet Punjab Kings in match No.49 of the IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Advantage Mustafizur and Harshal as Bumrah ends wicketless CSK's Matheesha Pathirana is also gunning for the Purple Cap this season. The CSK star has picked up 13 wickets in six games. Mumbai Indians pacer Gerald Coetzee has climbed to the seventh spot after taking a solitary wicket in MI's loss to LSG at the IPL 2024. MI skipper Hardik Pandya bagged two wickets while Nuwan Thushara and Coetzee shared two wickets against the Super Giants. “I think losing early wickets is tough to recover from and that's what we couldn't do it (recover) today. You still have to see the ball and hit. We just missed those balls and got out, that has been the kind of season we have had so far. I have always believed that you will be up and you'll be up, just that you got to give it your all. A lot of things to learn from this game,” MI skipper Hardik said after the match.
