IPL 2023 Updated points table, Orange cap & Purple cap after Match 24 between RCB & CSK

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 8 runs to go on to third spot in the IPL 2023 points table.

Lack of support from the Middle Order puts RCB on back foot once again. RCB failed to chase down Chennai’s 228 runs at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on a flat batting wicket. Southern Derby turned into a battle of boundaries between the two teams. Chennai won both of them by one six and 8 runs. A total of 33 sixes were scored in this game. CSK smashed 17 while RCB smashed 16. In a high scoring game, Chennai had a little scare when Glenn Maxwell (76) and Faf du Plessis (62) were batting. Their partnership of 126 runs in 10 overs for the third wicket gave RCB hope and a scare for CSK captain MS Dhoni. As soon as CSK sent Maxwell back, they had control of the game back in their hand.
