IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange & Purple Cap: GT consolidate position atop, SRH move to 4th spot

Gujarat Titans remained at the top of the points table following their sensational win against CSK while SRH moved to fourth spot after beating PBKS.

Sunday, the 17th of April, was just one of a kind T20 days that fans wait for. Gujarat Titans had gone four down early in the chase of 170 and with no Hardik Pandya in the side, a second win for Chennai Super Kings seemed inevitable. CSK coach Stephen Fleming had a smile on his face in the dugout when Rahul Tewatia was dismissed in the 13th over leaving Gujarat with an asking rate of almost 12. But fate had other plans for CSK as David Miller turned back the clock to produce one of the most scintillating T20 knocks with his 51-ball 94 and ably assisted by stand-in skipper Rashid Khan's 21-ball 40 as Gujarat won by three wickets with a ball to spare.
