The Purple Hat bonus is given to the top catcher in a specific IPL season, and the cap holder changes throughout the tournament until the end. The strange scenario where the eventual winner of the Purple Hat was relegated from a team that didn’t play or couldn’t even make it to the final has happened more than once. This unpredictability is partly responsible for the excitement surrounding IPL. But the joy of the fans can be the pain of the players. However, cricket is a team game and individual efforts mean nothing unless the whole team is performing at the same level. You can view the details of all the IPL Purple Cap winners each year here.
