KKR moved to the 5th spot with the win against Punjab
KKR moved up from the bottom of the ongoing IPL points table to the 5th spot after beating Punjab Kings by 5 wickets in Ahmedabad on Monday. KKR, who were languishing at the 8th spot with four straight losses, made a strong comeback by beating PBKS, who now stands in the 6th spot. The KKR bowlers were on song after captain Eoin Morgan asked PBKS to bat first after winning the toss. KKR restricted PBKS to 123 and then chased it down in the 17th over with 5 wickets in the bank, which helped their struggling net run rate. Four teams – Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Punjab Kings – have registered two wins in the league and are separated by the net run rate.
The IPL points table is led by Chennai Super Kings, who have four wins in five matches and also have the best run rate in the league so far. CSK is followed by RCB and DC respectively in the points table. There are no changes in IPL 2021 Orange Cap list so far, awarded to the highest run-scorer of the season. DC’s Shikhar Dhawan continues to top the chart with 259 runs in 5 matches. He is closely followed by PBKS captain KL Rahul, who has scored 240 runs in the league so far. The No 3, 4, and 5 spots belong to Faf du Plessis, Jonny Bairstow, and Rohit Sharma respectively.
