Updated IPL Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap List After SRH vs DC Game
The David Warner-led Delhi Capitals clinched a low-scoring thriller against SunRisers Hyderabad at the latter's home-ground in an IPL 2023 game on Monday. Off-spin allrounder Sundar (4-0-28-3) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-0-11-2) exposed the batting frailties of Delhi Capitals' in the first half of the game to restrict them to 144/9 after David Warner opted to bat. But an inexplicable batting approach in which SRH never looked to dominate led to their downfall as they were restricted to 137/6. Despite the win, DC are still at the bottom of the 10-team league with four points (NRR -0.961) in seven games. SRH are just above them with four points (NRR -0.725) in seven games. Chennai Super Kings lead the points table with 10 points (NRR +0.662) from seven games.
Orange Cap, Purple cap
Royal Challengers Bangalore's Faf du Plessis lead the highest run-scorers' list with a tally of 405 in seven games. DC skipper David Warner is third in the list with 306 runs in seven games. In the leading wicket-taker's lost, RCB's Mohammed Siraj and Punjab Kings' Arshdeep Singh have the joint-highest tally - 13.
Talking about the game, having lost half of their side for 85 runs in 14.1 overs, SRH's recovery was led by Heinrich Klaasen (31; 19b, 3x4, 1x6) and Sundar who came up with 15-ball 24 not out (3x4s).
But it proved not enough as Anrich Nortje (4-0-33-2) dismissed his South African temmate, before Mukesh Kumar bowled a terrific last over to defend 13 runs to hand Delhi a narrow yet thrilling second consecutive win of the season.
Delhi Capitals gradually strengthened their grip on the game by taking four wickets -- Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi (15), Abhishek Sharma (5) and Aiden Markam (3) in quick succession in the middle overs, and allowing a mere three fours between overs 5 to 15 which highlighted SRH's plight.

Watch: Anushka's Dance After Virat's Wild Celebration As RCB Beat RR
The crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium was witness to Royal Challengers Bangalore's brilliant victory over Rajasthan Royals by seven runs on Sunday. Playing in their green jersey's, RCB posted a huge total of 189/9 in 20 overs, courtesy of fiery half-centuries from Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. Later, RR were restricted to 182/6 after Harshal Patel scalped three wickets. The moment when RCB sealed their win, stand-in skipper Virat Kohli celebrated in his usual aggressive style. However, Virat's wife Anushka Sharma's unique celebration was a highlight of the day.

RR needed 10 runs off 2 balls to win when Harshal bowled a slower length ball to Abdul Basith, who could only get a single. As soon as the ball did not go for a boundary, Virat was seen giving his aggressive expression while Anushka was seen adorably dancing in the stands to celebrate RCB's win.
Talking about the match, a late charge led by a cameo from Dhruv Jurel was not enough for Rajasthan Royals as a century stand between captain Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell set up a thrilling seven-run win for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Invited to bat, Maxwell (77 off 44 balls) and du Plessis (62 off 39 balls) shared 127 runs for the third wicket from only 66 deliveries to power RCB to 189 for 9 in 20 overs.
Devdutt Padikkal (52 off 34 balls) struck his maiden fifty of the season and Yashasvi Jaiswal made 47 for a 98-run partnership for the second wicket but the Royals were lagging behind in the run chase before gaining momentum in the last five overs.
Jurel played a small cameo of 34 not out off just 16 balls (2x4; 2x6) as the Royals scored 61 runs off the last five overs, losing three wickets in the process. But they fell short by seven runs in the end, reaching to 182 for 6 in 20 overs.
The Royals needed 20 runs off the final over bowled by Harshal Patel but could score only 12.

IPL 2023: Ajinkya Rahane Shines As CSK Beat KKR, Rise To Top Spot In Table
Ajinkya Rahane, whose T20 game has undergone complete metamorphosis, smashed an eye-popping 29-ball-71 as Chennai Super Kings, buoyed by support from capacity Eden Gardens crowd, out-batted Kolkata Knight Riders by 49 runs in an IPL game, on Sunday. A transformed Rahane took Eden Gardens by storm with his sensational stroke-play which was complemented in equal measure by the muscular Shivam Dube (50 off 21 balls) and ever-consistent Devon Conway (56 off 40 balls) with CSK scoring an imposing 235 for 4 in 20 overs.
With Jason Roy pulling a hamstring while fielding, the chase was out of question and Dhoni's young pace troika of Akash Singh (1/29 in 4 overs),Matheesa Pathirana (1/27 in 4 overs) and Tushar Deshpande (2/43 in 4 overs) along with seasoned spinners Moeen Ali (1/20 in 1 over), Maheesh Theekshana (2/32 in 4 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/34 in 3 overs) restricted KKR to 186 for 8 in 20 overs.
Jason Roy (61 off 26 balls) coming in at No.5 due to hamstring niggle , did try his bit with a 19-ball half-century but 236 even with best of batting line-ups would have been a tall-order.
The win took CSK to top of the table with 10 points from seven games while KKR are now placed eighth among 10 teams after fifth defeat at halfeay stage.
To add insult to injury, KKR didn't get any home support as the 67,000 capacity Eden stands resembled a Sunflower as 'Canary Yellow' jersey filling up every corner of the venue.
They had come for their beloved Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 'Last Dance' and CSK didn't disappoint them either.
But for that credit goes to Rahane, who is surprising all and sundry each day with his positive intent. What is missing in KL Rahul is exactly what is there in Rahane but perhaps, the presence of Dhoni in that dug-out which is proving to be a clincher.
Rahane 2.0 ======== It was hard to fathom that the same Rahane had scored just 133 runs from seven matches at a strike rate of under 104 for KKR last season.
But Rahane seemed to have got a new lease of life after getting under the leadership of talismanic Dhoni as he continued his rampaging form for CSK with second fifty of the season.
Long perceived as a Test batter, the 34-year-old dished out some never-seen scoop shots, ruthless pulls laced with his signature drives, en route to his second fifty of the season.
Overall, he smashed sixes fours and five sixes in his 29-ball knock that came with a 244-plus strike rate. His fifty came of just 24 balls. His tournament strike-rate among specialist batters, who have faced a minimum of 100 balls, is just a shade below 190.
In all, CSK batters hit 18 sixes, exposing the plight of KKR bowlers in-front of a crowd, which for them was like playing at "home away from home".
On a day, the Eden immersed in a sea of yellow, KKR bowlers ran for covers with Kiwi opener Devon Conway once again leading the charge with a 40-ball-56, his fourth half-century of the season.
Conway once again found a fine ally in Ruturaj Gaikwad (35; 20b) as the duo put together 73-run (45b) for the opening wicket, before Rahane unleashed his fury in his new avatar.
There was a brief solace for KKR when the spin duo of Suyash Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Conway and Gaikwad respectively in the space of 37 runs.
With CSK run-rate going under-nine an over, Shivam Dube (50; 21b, 2x4, 5x6) and Rahane seized the momentum with a 85-run partnership (32b).
The duo hit four sixes, and a boundary in a row to step up the run rate.
It was Dube who broke free against Varun Chakravarthy en route to his 20-ball fifty, his second too this season.
Rahane then took his India teammate Yadav to cleaners with two sixes, including a scoop, following it up with an elegant cover drive.
KKR's baffling team combination strategy in benching Shardul Thakur and handing debut to David Wiese proved to be an eyesore.
Kulwant Khejroliya, who had been brought in place of Thakur, took two wickets but leaked 44 runs in his two overs.
Sunil Narine was also a big let down for KKR and conceded 23 runs from his two overs without taking any wicket.
KKR had the grip on CSK's innings following a tidy five-run opening over by Umesh Yadav.
Yet to open his account, Conway then got an easy reprieve when Wiese put down a return catch from his own bowling.
Thereafter, it was all about CSK who cut loose with the Kiwi opener going after Wiese, smashing him for a six and following it up with 14 runs in the next over.
His opening partner, Gaikwad too matched Conway in stroke-making as CSK cruised to 59 for no loss in the powerplay.
The duo once again put together a perfect platform in a 73-run opening stand (45b) for the likes of Rahane and Dube to finish with an elan.
