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

In order to stay in the competition, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scripted a comprehensive victory over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, May 14.

The Super Kings had a great chance of going at the top of the points table but failed to capitalize on their chances against a confident KKR side.

KKR restricted CSK to only 144/6 in the first innings after Chennai opted to bat first. All of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, and Moeen Ali failed to get going as the Knight Riders spinners were on top. Shivam Dube looked comfortable and scored a vital 48* off 34 to bail the side out.

In response, Deepak Chahar wreaked havoc and struck thrice to reduce KKR to 33/3 inside the powerplay. Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh were then tasked to bail KKR out of trouble and the duo succeeded remarkably.
