Updated Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap List in IPL 2023 after KKR vs PBKS game

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) stayed alive in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with yet another last-ball win over Punjab Kings on Monday. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell pulled off a heist for them with the former smashing a four when the team needed two runs off the final ball. With this win, KKR have climbed to the fifth position but remain in a must-win situation having won only five out of 11 matches thus far.

PBKS are set to go down even further as either MI or RCB will be reaching 12 points today as the two teams clash at the Wankhede Stadium. The top four remain unchanged in the points table with the Gujarat Titans sitting pretty at the top followed by Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals.
