IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals match (Updated) 

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) registered a mammoth win over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a crucial 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) contest at the Eden Gardens on Thursday, May 11.

RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl first. KKR's opening woes continued as Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz were once again dismissed inside the powerplay.

Venkatesh Iyer scored a fifty and KKR looked in a decent position at one stage of the game, before Yuzvendra Chahal took over the proceedings. The leg-spinner became the leading wicket-taker in IPL history on the back of his brilliant four-wicket spell.

KKR kept losing wickets and were devoid of any sort of momentum towards the end of the innings. The home side could only finish with 149/8 in 20 overs.

In response, Yashasvi Jaiswal began the chase on a splendid note by taking down Nitish Rana for 26 runs in the first over of the run chase. KKR were never in the contest as the young opener took down their bowling attack.

Skipper Sanju Samson chipped in with an unbeaten 48 as well after coming in at No.3. The visitors scaled the target in just 13.1 overs and attained two vital points while boosting their net run rate in the process as well.
