Cricket PlayersNew No.1 in IPL 2023 points table after LSG vs SRH; Bishnoi climbs to 2nd spot: Check Orange and Purple cap list
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 10 on Thursday to climb to top spot in the IPL 2023 points table.
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in Match 10 of IPL 2023, in Lucknow on Friday. Chasing a target of 122 runs, LSG reached 127/5 in 16 overs, with KL Rahul scoring 35 off 31 balls and Krunal Pandya slamming 34 off 23 deliveries. Meanwhile, Adil Rashid took two wickets for SRH.
Initially, SRH posted 121/8 in 20 overs, with a top order collapse. Krunal was also in hot bowling form and took three wickets and Amit Mishra scalped two dismissals.
Krunal, who also received the Player of the Match award, said, “This year I'm in a good headspace. Once you have clarity up there, things fall in places. I'm very process-driven, don't think about results. Was just playing white-ball formats. What happened last two-three years was I kept getting wider and wider. Whatever I did in the last 3-4 months is coming out really well. People say I don't turn the ball, so that answers it I guess (Markram wicket). I'm trying to recollect how I played in the first 4-5 years in IPL where I was batting at four for MI.”
