Chennai: Chennai Super Kings bowler Tusshar Deshpande, who took a total of 17 wickets in the current IPL season, has won the Purple Cap. The purple cap is given to bowlers in recognition of being the bowler who has taken the most wickets. In this context, netizens are trolling him on social media.
So far, he has played 9 matches for the Chennai team this season, conceding 369 runs in 33.2 overs and taking 17 wickets. In this he has bowled dot balls without giving any run in 76 balls. Today (Sunday) he scored 49 runs and took 3 wickets in the match against the Punjab team at the Chennai-Chepakkam ground. With this he has won the Purple Cap.
Despite his ability to take wickets, he has failed to deliver runs economically. This is due to lack of line and length control. Especially against Punjab when he bowled two wides in the 19th over. That might have been a reason for Chennai team’s defeat in this match. Because in the last ball, the Punjab players ran past the 3 runs required for victory. In this case, netizens are trolling him. Memes about him are being shared on social media.
He has made a habit of providing spares this season. In the current season alone, he has bowled 17 wides in the matches he has played. No-ball does not count in this.
