IPL 2019 Purple Cap: Top 10 bowlers in the 2018 IPL season

#3 Siddarth Kaul (21 wickets)

Siddarth Kaul

The Sunrisers Hyderabad's go-to man - Siddarth Kaul has been a big asset for the IPL franchise. The right-arm speedster had an impressive 21 wickets in 17 IPL matches in the previous season. The 28-year-old from Pathankot had a strike rate of 18.85.

He was equally good in the 2017 edition of IPL wherein he clinched 16 wickets in 10 matches. Kaul, however, has had a tough time cementing his place in the national team with the likes of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Bumrah, Shami, and Umesh Yadav being the first picks for selectors.

Kaul has just played 3 ODIs and 2 T20Is for the Men in Blue. He recently got a chance to play in the 3 unofficial ODIs for India A when they squared off against England Lions. The speedster clinched 3 wickets in those matches. His performances in the Ranji Trophy for Punjab have been impressive.

The Hyderabad-based franchise has retained him for ₹3.8 crore ahead of the upcoming edition. He will be looking to put up a brilliant show once again in order to catch the eye of the selectors and be in the running for India's World Cup squad.
