Updated Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap List in IPL 2023 after LSG vs RCB game

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 18 runs in the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday. This was the fifth win for the team led by Faf du Plessis and they have climbed to the fifth place in the points table. On the other hand, LSG who couldn't chase down 127 runs have slipped to the third position in the table with Rajasthan Royals benefiting from their loss. Chennai Super Kings are sitting at the fourth place while Gujarat Titans are clear of all the middle muddle with 12 points at the top of the table.

As many as five teams are at 10 points now with the race for the playoffs getting close with every match. The results of last three matches - PBKS beating CSK, MI beating RR and RCB beating LSG - means the lower placed teams are not letting the top four run away. However, the bottom three teams - SRH, KKR and DC - soon need to pull up their socks now in order to climb up in the table.
