IPL Points Table, Purple Cap and Orange Cap in IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians make a huge jump

The IPL 2023 points table witnessed a major change on Tuesday as Mumbai Indians thumped Royal Challengers Bangalore in match 54 of the season.

For Royal Challengers Bangalore, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell stepped up once again to take the team's total to 199. Virat Kohli had an off day on the field as he went back after just getting off the mark. In reply, Mumbai Indians were given a blistering start by Ishan Kishan. He scored at a strike rate of 200 and made the most of the field restrictions. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, had another quiet night. He could only score 7 off 8 balls. The protagonists behind Mumbai Indians' victory are Suryakumar Yadav and Nehal Wadhera. SKY scored 83 off just 35 balls and Wadhera 52 off 34 balls. The duo built a 140-run stand and left RCB in complete shambles. MI won the match by 6 wickets and Suryakumar Yadav was adjudged the man of the match for his exceptional innings.
