IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange Cap and Purple Cap: Gill, Shami in top-4 - Updated after Match 62
Gujarat Titans claimed an easy seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the dead-rubber match 62 of IPL 2022 at the Wankhade Stadium on Sunday.
MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat first but his team failed to show any kind of intent. Though Ruturaj Gaikwad got a 53 and N Jagadeesan scored 39, the last five overs went for just 24 runs without even a single boundary. Three of the Titans' bowlers went under six runs per over and restricted the Super Kings to 133-5.
That Saha Special deserves all the accolades and more! 👏👏

Hardik Pandya and Co. had the luxury of time in the second innings. Wridhiman Saha was once again the tone-setter with his unbeaten 57-ball 67. He started with a flurry of boundaries but settled into an anchoring role in the second half. Others batted around him and cameos from Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade and David Miller proved enough to get the side over the line in 19.1 overs.
IPL 2022 Updated Points table
There wasn't any change in position in the IPL points table. The Titans, who have already qualified, became the first team to reach 20 points this season. With this, they have also guaranteed a top-two finish which will give them two chances to reach the final. Lucknow Super Giants are the only other IPL team that can reach 20 points.
Super Kings would have moved ahead of SunRisers Hyderabad had they won the match but have to be content with the seventh position in the points table.
