In what was the 1000th match in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians chased down a gigantic target of 213 runs against Rajasthan Royals to keep themselves in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs.

The victory was MI's 4th from 8 matches while RR squandered the opportunity to regain the top spot in the points table with the defeat.

It was Yashasvi Jaiswal who scored his maiden IPL ton to set the perfect stage for the Royals but Tim David and Suryakumar Yadav's heroics at the end enable MI to take two points from the game. Updated IPL 2023 Points Table: Rajasthan Royals would've gone top of the IPL 2023 points table had they beaten Mumbai Indians on Sunday but a defeat for them meant that defending champions Guajrat Titans remained on top with 12 points to their name.

A total of 4 teams have 10 points each to their name, with Lucknow Super Giants, Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings occupying the next four spots.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) survived Rinku Singh's onslaught to edge out Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by one run, and booked their place in the IPL 2023 playoffs. The win took LSG to 17 points from 14 league matches, while KKR's hopes of reaching the playoffs were dashed with this defeat. LSG remain in the third spot, three points ahead of fourth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, their win was not enough to take them above CSK, who registered a big win over Delhi Capitals earlier on the day to secure their playoff spot.
