Only one match remains in the Indian Premier Leagues (IPL) 2023. Over the last two months, the 10 franchises competed intensely with some doing it better than the other. The tournament also saw several great batting performances. This was the first time that two uncapped batters - Yashasvi Jaiswal and Prabhsimran Singh - scored centuries in one edition of the league.

Sunrisers Hyderabad ended their IPL 2023 campaign with an eight-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The 2016 champions had a forgetful outing in this season, with only four victories in 14 matches. Despite having many big names like Aiden Markram, Mayank Agarwal, Glenn Phillips, SRH failed to leave a mark and finished at the bottom of the points table. Apart from them, one player who turned out to be a major disappointment this year was pacer Umran Malik. The Jammu and Kashmir speedster emerged as a superstar in 2022 but gave a completely opposite performance this year.
