IPL Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap Standings: SRH at 9th spot after win against RR

The Rajasthan Royals suffered their third consecutive loss in the IPL 2023 as they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the RR vs SRH match by four wickets. However, the loss didn't affect their position in the IPL points table and they remain where they were before the match. Sunrisers though made gains after the match and are placed in the ninth position after the match. 

Batting first at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals registered a mammoth score of 214/2 wherein opener Jos Buttler and skipper Sanju Samson ended up scoring half-centuries. Buttler on one hand played a knock of 95 runs off 59 balls whereas Samson hit an unbeaten 38 ball 66 which comprised of four fours and five sixes. 

Chasing the target, Sunsirers Hyderabad started off really well, and batsmen like Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, and Anmolpreet Singh contributed useful runs. In the end, when 17 runs were needed off the last over, it was Abdul Samad who held his nerves and took his team home in the final over. However, when four was required off the sixth ball, Samad was not able to hit Sandeep's yorker but the bowler overstepped and the ball turned into a free hit. The right-handed young batsman hit a six and won his team an almost-lost match.
