Top 5 IPL bowlers to have never won the Purple Cap

#5 Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra has been the most consistent Indian bowler in the IPL

Amit Mishra can easily be given the appellation of the bowlers’ Suresh Raina, for he is IPL’s star; but ordinary in the international arena. His IPL exploits has seen him bag three hattricks and also bag the highest number of wickets for an Indian. He has befuddled those who keenly watch him bowling in the international arena.

Circa 2013. Pune Warriors India are coasting home against Sunrisers Hyderabad, needing 19 off 19 to ace a 120 run chase. After Mitchell Marsh and Nayar fell swinging wildly to Steyn and Perera, the Amit Mishra show took over. In a masterclass display of flight and leg spin, he foxed Angelo Mathews with a loopy delivery, to have him caught at long on.

In a moment of collective brain fade, Bhuvneshwar Kumar played for turn to a googly to depart lbw and Mishra completed the hat-trick, and an unbelievable 11 run win with one more googly, as Ashok Dinda too pushed for a legbreak. Mishra's figures read 4-0-19-4 and came after his 30 off 24 had stretched Sunrisers to 119 for 8 from 44 for 6. It remains one of the greatest heists this tournament has ever witnessed.
