Despite nitish rana

Despite Nitish Rana: Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad returned with the figures of 2-28 in his four overs against Rajasthan Royals to reclaim the Purple Cap for clinching the most wickets in the IPL 2025 season so far.

Before the encounter, Noor was sitting at seven wickets in two games but Mitchell Starc's maiden T20 fifer in the first match of Sunday between Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad briefly snatched the Purple Cap from the former. However, the 20-year-old was quick to get it back with his economical performance against Rajasthan in Guwahati, hours after Starc's heroics in Visakhapatnam.

Noor is having a season to remember so far as he bagged four and three wickets respectively in the first two matches of the season.
