The Mumbai Indians regained the top position in the Indian Premier League points table with a win over the Delhi Capitals, who are in second place. It was a hard-fought victory for the IM led by Rohit Sharma, as the match came last more before Krunal Pandya crushed Marcus Stoinis by a four. While both teams score five wins in seven games, MI takes first place due to a healthier Net Execution Rate.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore continue to rank third and fourth respectively with four wins from six matches. The Rajasthan Royals may have won on Sunday, but they are still behind Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2020 IPL points table. Both teams have 6 points from seven games.
The spectacle of KXIP’s failure continued in the IPL when the team suffered its fifth consecutive loss. As expected, the 2014 IPL finalists have fallen to the bottom of the points table with 2 points and their chances of qualifying for the Playoffs have taken a major hit. Only a mathematical miracle hopes to save his shaky campaign.
MS Dhoni’s CSK lost the ‘Southern Derby’, their fifth defeat of the season, but they are still seventh.
Orange cap
KL Rahul continued his good form at IPL 2020, scoring another half century to improve his lead on this season’s fastest runners list.
With 387 races at an average of 64.50, Rahul owns the Orange Cap, ahead of his KXIP teammate Mayank Agarwal by 50 races, while Faf du Plessis, Jonny Bairstow and David Warner continue in the top five.
Purple cap
This is what the Purple Cap list looks like.
Delhi Capitals’ 17 Kagiso Rabada plots mean he still has the Purple Cap and has developed a huge lead at the top. Bumrah is second with 11 wickets while Rashid Khan moves to fourth place with 10. Trent Boult is third with 15 wickets and Mohammed Shami is fifth.
