The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) brought another double-header weekend to an end on Sunday. Things are starting to heat up on the points table after 23 matches as the tournament nears the completion of its first half. Mumbai Indians defeated Kolkata Knight Riders for the 23rd time on Sunday while Rajasthan Royals avenged their loss against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 final. Venkatesh Iyer scored a brilliant hundred to break a 15-year drought at KKR, while Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer starred in RR’s thrilling win over the defending champions.

Royals are currently sitting on top of the points table having won four out of five matches so far, while Lucknow Super Giants follow them with three wins and a better NRR. Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings complete the top four line-ups in the points table with three wins each so far. Kolkata Knight Riders would look to lose to MI as they had chances to climb into the foursome. Instead, they are stuck at the fifth spot and will drop further after the game between CSK and RCB on Monday.

CSK and RCB are sixth and seventh respectively with two wins each from four matches, while MI and SRH are also gathering momentum after starting slowly. Delhi Capitals is the only team that has not won even after five matches.
