So guys whom do you think would win IPL this year? Just one last day of discussions before we finally get to know the winner this year. Mumbai vs Delhi has always been a pretty interesting rivalry. Both the teams are in their best forms so it's just going to be about the team the plays the best tomorrow. Another major fight tomorrow would be of Purple Cap.
Kagiso Ranada has 29 wickets
Jasprit Bumrah has 27 wickets
So let's see who takes the purple cap too. While the orange cap could most certainly go to KL Rahul unless Shikhar Dhawan can score around 68 runs.
What is the point in having purple cap and the top spot, if the team is not winning? Bumrah may be having less number of wickets, but that is because the other bowlers such as Boult are also taking frequent wickets. On the other hand, apart from Anrich Nortje, the other Delhi bowlers are not in form. So it doesn't surprise me that Rabada is taking a higher proportion of wickets.
I think the aim of purple cap was this only it's about the bowler who can maintain consistency of taking wickets throughout the IPL. Nevertheless losing IPL and winning Purple Cap won't give you that much happiness but trust me there is nothing like there is "no point" in it. At the end every player plays towards development of his personal career too. They are channelizing their personal efforts towards team's goal and requirements but This is not international cricket where players are playing patriotically, it's commercial cricket and you don't mind any money coming towards you be it from any achievement.

This season has been the season of underdogs. Most matches were won by the underdogs which is why I am pretty confident that DC who is the clear underdog will win the cup this year.
Bumrah retained his form at the correct time luckily for MI though Ranada might end up winning the purple cap while Rahul could win the orange cap. These are my predictions at this point.
Currently no one can predict about result because still some good drama can happen in final and any team can give good fight on his day both already play very good and entertaining cricket so for me any one can win for purple and orange cap still we have some close fight as well because Shakhar is also doing good in recent matches and his some good score for his team can give him cap as well for Bumrah.
Rabada does carry advantage of two wickets so for example if he takes couple of wickets in first innings then Bumrah can't match him that easily. While for Dhawan it's much easier. He has that target for himself and has to score just 60 runs. But obviously he would have to play according to situation and total otherwise 60 runs isn't that big a score for him.
