IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange Cap and Purple Cap: Buttler, Kishan occupy top spot; Chahal moves to second - Updated after Match 9

RR claim the first position in the points table.

The ninth match of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) witnessed Rajasthan Royals (RR) take on the Mumbai Indians (MI). The Sanju Samson-led side emerged victorious by 23 runs to claim their top spot in the points table.

After being put in to bat by MI captain Rohit Sharma, RR scored 193-8 in their first innings. The chief architect of the first innings was Jos Buttler, who scored the first hundred of IPL 2022.

Chasing the total, MI were in the game for the majority of the second innings but a poor outing by the lower-order let the side down. Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan's half-centuries ended in vain as Pollard cut a lonely figure towards the end.
