While Jos Buttler won the Orange Cap for scoring 863 runs in 17 matches, Yuzvendra Chahal completed a delightful double by notching up the Purple Cap (27 wickets in 17 matches).

The Indian Premier League 2023 season has arrived, with 10 teams going head to head against each other, in a bid to claim the elusive trophy.

Lucknow Super Giants, who also made their debut last season, finished third while Royal Challengers Bangalore came 4th. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians -- the two superpowers in the T20 league - didn't perform much and only finished 9th and 10th in the table respectively.
After finishing third in the league stage of IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Delhi Capitals on Saturday in their campaign opener. Led by KL Rahul, who emerged as team's highest run-scorer with a total of 616 runs in 15 matches, LSG lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator match last season. Dropped from the playing XI in Test matches, stripped of vice-captaincy across formats and demoted in the annual central contracts category, Rahul will need to make a personal statement not only with the bat but also as a leader of men.
