5 Contenders for the Purple Cap in IPL 2016

4. James Faulkner (GL):

The Aussie has always attracted attention with his good performances in the IPL, and in this season too, the onus will be on him to deliver the goods for his new team. His wicket taking ability makes him a force to reckon with and his beguiling back of the hand slow deliveries would cause problems to most batsmen. Faulkner has been in pretty good form coming into the tournament. He a took a fifer against Pakistan in the recently concluded World T20, which is the first by an Australian in the shortest format.
