Updated IPL 2024 Points Table: RR Consolidate Top Spot With Win Over KKR

Rajasthan Royals consolidated their position at the top of the IPL 2024 points table with a thrilling win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday. Jos Buttler played a sensational knock to guide his side to victory on the final ball of the match as Sunil Narine's maiden T20 century went  in vain. Thanks to the win, RR have 12 points from 7 matches and are best placed to book their spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs. KKR, on the other hand, remained second with eight points but they still have the best NRR (Net Run Rate) in the competition. Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are third and fourth respectively with eight points each. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are at the bottom of the table.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru star batter Virat Kohli continues to top the list when it comes to the Orange Cap followed by Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag. KKR all-rounder Sunil Narine grabbed the third spot thanks to his ton while Sanju Samson and Rajasthan Royals are 4th and 5th respectively.

Coming to the Purple Cap, Yuzvendra Chahal is in the lead followed by Jasprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins and Punjab Kings pacer Kagiso Rabada.

Rajasthan Royals pulled off the Indian Premier League's biggest run chase to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by two wickets.

Asked to bat first, KKR rode on Sunil Narine's 56-ball 109 to post 223/6 in the allotted 20 overs.

In reply, RR were in all sorts of trouble at one stage but Jos Buttler blasted his way to an unbeaten 60-ball 107, as the visitors completed the chase in the last ball of the match.

After his team was asked to bat first on a fresh pitch, Narine blazed away to a 49-ball 100 to lead KKR's charge in this top-of-the-table clash at Eden Gardens.

It was a one-man show from KKR as Narine (109 off 56) batted till the 18th over, first stitching 85 runs with Angkrish Raghuvanshi (30) and then adding 51 runs with Andre Russell (13).

However, Buttler had other ideas as he did the job for RR from an extremely difficult position.

Sanju Samson's Act Minutes After T20 World Cup Selection Wins Hearts

April 8, 2008. Sanju Samson, then a skinny 14-year-old, curled on the bed in his hotel room, watched Kolkata Knight Riders' Brendon McCullum hammering a 73-ball 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever IPL match. That drizzly evening in Kottayam, a town in central Kerala, changed his heart. Forever. Sanju reshuffled his career dream, from wanting to become a civil servant to entering the elite world of a top-flight cricketer. "Sanju always recollects that day, which gave him the dream of reaching that league of top players one day," said former Kerala player Raiphi Vincent Gomez, also a close friend of the wicketkeeper batter. But merely having a dream will not take anyone to the top of their profession, more so in sports. Sanju then had oodles of determination too to walk down his chosen path. Biju George, the former India women's cricket team's fielding coach and the early mentor of the Kerala player, saw that brightly flickering flame inside...
