IPL 2026: The points table has been updated after the RCB vs. LSG match, and the Orange and Purple caps have been given out.

In the 23rd match of the current Indian Premier League (IPL), Royal Challengers Bengaluru easily beat Lucknow Super Giants. This was their fourth win in five matches this year. The defending champions played very well and never let the other team get back into the game after they chose to bowl first. RCB chased down LSG's target of 146 runs in just 15.1 overs, which gave them eight points and put them at the top of the points table.

Rajasthan Royals are in second place with eight points after five games because their net run-rate is lower than RCB's. Punjab Kings are still the only team in IPL 2026 that hasn't lost a game. Today, they have a chance to move to the top of the table when they play the Mumbai Indians, who have won the championship five times, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI is having a hard time this season, having only won one of their four games, and they are in ninth place in the table.

Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are stuck in eighth and tenth place, respectively. After losing to RCB, LSG is now in seventh place. Sunrisers Hyderabad are in the top four, while Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are in fifth and sixth place, respectively.

Rajat Patidar is next on the list with 224 runs, and the fight to be the top run-scorer this season has already gotten very intense.
