After 70 matches in the IPL 2023 league stages, we finally have the four teams which have managed to reach the Playoffs stage after the final match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday night. Defending champions GT had booked their place first and have topped the IPL 2023 Points Table with 20 points from 14 matches.

MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) finished in second place with 17 points from 14 matches – same as Lucknow Super Giants, who finished in third place. The fourth spot was very closely contest and Mumbai Indians (MI) managed to secure it after their eight-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the penultimate league match on Sunday.

MI ended up with 16 points from 14 matches but RCB could have pipped them if they had defeated GT on Sunday but Shubman Gill’s second successive hundred trumped Virat Kohli’s century for RCB as the champions emerged victorious by six wicket. RCB as a result ended up in sixth place on the Points table with 14 points from 14 matches – same as fifth-placed Rajasthan Royals (RR), who had a better net run-rate.

Shubman Gill closes in on Orange Cap

GT opener Shubman Gill smashed a brilliant 104 against RCB – his second century in a row in IPL 2023. Gill now has 680 runs in 14 matches with two hundreds and 4 fifties to his name. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis is the current holder of the Orange Cap with 730 runs from 14 matches with eight fifties.

However, with at least 2 more matches to play if not three, Gill can surpass Du Plessis and claim the Orange Cap this week. Kohli rose to third place on the Orange Cap standings with his second successive century, scoring 101 against GT. Kohli ended his IPL 2023 campaign with 639 runs in 14 matches with two hundreds and six fifties.
