IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings match (Updated)

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) climbed to the top of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) points table after a resounding 49-run win over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, April 23.

CSK were put into bat first by Nitish Rana following the coin toss. The in-form opening pair of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad got the Yellow Army off to a splendid start. The duo put on 73 runs in seven-and-a-half overs and laid down the platform for the middle order to pile on.

Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube joined the proceedings as KKR bowlers had no answers to the onslaught. CSK ended with a mammoth total of 235-4 after 20 overs.

KKR lost two early wickets in the run chase in the form of Sunil Narine and Narayan Jagadeesan. Jason Roy came in at No. 5 and chipped in with a quickfire fifty, and so did Rinku Singh, but their efforts were in vain as they ended up short by 49 runs to suffer their fourth successive defeat.
