Updated IPL 2023 Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap List After DC vs PBKS Match: Punjab Kings Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

It was a comprehensive performance by Punjab Kings against Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2023 game. Prabhsimran Singh's magnificent maiden IPL hundred was well complemented by Harpreet Brar's four wicket haul as Punjab Kings on Saturday kept their slim play-off hopes alive with a comprehensive 31-run win over Delhi Capitals, who were knocked out of contention in the process. If Prabhsimran showed tremendous resolve during his 65-ball 103 to single-handedly power PBKS to 167 for 7, Brar (4/30) and Rahul Chahar (2/16) then spun a web to strangle Delhi's chase as the home side managed just 135 for 8, despite a sizzling 27-ball 54 by skipper David Warner.

Virender Sehwag Names "One Of Most Balanced Teams" Of IPL 2023. It's Not Gujarat Titans

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag termed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as the most balanced side of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. IPL 2023 is now entering a tough week as teams will make the last dash to qualify for the playoffs in their coming games. On Saturday, Sunrisers Hyderabad host Lucknow Super Giants in the first double-header and in the evening game Delhi Capitals host northern rivals Punjab Kings in their backyard. With two crucial points on the line, all four teams will look to go all-in, because winners will stay in the playoffs contention in IPL 2023. Both LSG and PBKS will try to stay afloat in the competition with wins in their upcoming games. But a loss for SRH and DC might all but end their journey in this edition.

Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings will both be looking to boost their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 playoff qualification chances as they face each other on Saturday. Punjab Kings lost their last game against Kolkata Knight Riders with Rinku Singh producing another last-over miracle. Similarly, DC have also not been in good form with their last match ending in defeat against Chennai Super Kings. A win will be valuable for both sides as they are still very much in the race for the top four.

"Selectors Would Look At Him Again": Suresh Raina's Big Take On IPL Wicket-Keeper

Former Indian cricket team all-rounder was all praise for Punjab Kings wicket-keeper batsman Jitesh Sharma and backed him to get chances in the national side. In a recent interaction, Raina was asked about Jitish's chances of making the national team and the IPL commentator sounded quite optimistic. The 29-year-old has been quite impressive for his franchise this season and has already played couple of crucial knocks against well-established bowling attacks. He made his debut for Mumbai Indians in 2016 but he has found his stride in the last two seasons with the PBKS side.

The ongoing edition of IPL has produced many nail-biting thrillers, which made the season an enjoyable one. From Rinku Singh's five sixes carnage to Tim David's ruthless thrashing of Jason Holder, the fans got to witness some brilliant finishers of the cash-rich league. However, one middle-order batter, who utterly impressed everyone is Punjab Kings wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma. The 29-year-old cricketer has smashed 260 runs off 11 matches at a strike rate of 160.49. The blistering performance of Jitesh has made him a strong contendar for Team India.

Rinku Singh added another bright chapter to his legend as a "finisher" with a last-ball boundary as Kolkata Knight Riders beat Punjab Kings by five wickets on Monday to keep their IPL play-off hopes alive. It was a complete 'RRR' show by KKR at the Eden Gardens as skipper Nitish Rana's half-century and Andre Russell adding muscle to the chase of 180 enabled Rinku to finish off the game with a 10-ball-21 not out. Earlier, Varun Chakravarthy once again brilliantly spearheaded their bowling department to grab 3 for 26 as KKR put up a tidy bowling show to restrict PBKS to a below-par 179 for seven after the visitors opted to bat on a slow wicket.
