IPL 2023, LSG vs RCB Points Table Update: Check out which team is leading the Indian Premier League standings, players leading the race for Orange Cap and Purple Cap.
IPL 16 Points Table
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) registered a terrific 18-run win on Monday evening against KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants. After setting the hosts a lowly 127-run target, Faf du Plessis & Co bundled them out for 108 with one ball to spare. It was the perfect revenge sought by RCB for their loss against Lucknow at Chinnaswamy last month. With this victory, Bangalore have jumped up in the points table while Lucknow slipped down.
RCB have moved up to the fifth spot with a total of 10 points in their kitty. However, they are behind the likes of LSG, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings due to a poor net run rate; -0.030. Meanwhile, Lucknow have slipped down by a position. A victory would have taken them to the top of the table but after the shocking 187-run defeat, they have gone down to the third position with 10 points and a net run rate of +0.639.
IPL 16 Orange Cap
RCB skipper Faf du Plessis dethroned Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal who scored his maiden IPL hundred on Sunday evening in what was the 1000th game of the Indian Premier League. Du Plessis scored 44 runs off 40 balls, with the help of a boundary and a six, taking his tally of runs to 466. Yashasvi moves to the second spot with 428 runs. Meanwhile, CSK’s Devon Conway (414), RCB’s Virat Kohli (45.50), and CSK’s Ruturaj Gaikwad (354) are placed third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.
IPL 16 Purple Cap
While CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande remains the highest wicket-taker of the league, RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj jumped up to the second spot after picking up a wicket on Monday night against LSG. The right-arm quick from Hyderabad dismissed Lucknow opener Kyle Mayers for a three-ball duck to provide the Royal Challengers Bangalore and early breakthrough in the game. While Siraj is now placed second with 15 wickets, Punjab Kings’ Arshdeep Singh (15), Gujarat Titans’ Rashid Khan (14), and Ravichandran Ashwin of Rajasthan Royals (13) follow next in the top five.
