IPL 2023: Points Table, Orange Cap And Purple Cap Leaders After SRH vs KKR

In another thrilling game, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by five runs in the 47th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Thursday, May 4. Aiden Markram nearly completed a successful chase, but in-form KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy defended nine runs in the final over and was named Player of the Match for his one-for-twenty effort. The result gave the Nitish Rana-led side its fourth win of the season, keeping them in eighth place in the points table with four wins from ten games.

Kartik Tyagi made his debut appearance in the IPL 2023, replacing Umran Malik, who was dropped following a streak of poor performances. Sunrisers Hyderabad now need a miracle to finish in the top four in the group rounds. This was their sixth defeat in nine games in IPL 2023, leaving them in ninth place in the points table. They do, however, have a game in hand, thus the potential of making the playoffs remains.
