IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange Cap and Purple Cap Latest Table Today: RR go top with SRH win

IPL 2022 has in store new teams, changed squad line-ups and a different format. But that will not necessarily impact the point system.

This year the format is going to be a little different, wherein the 10 teams will be split into two groups - Group A and B.

Group A - Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants

Group B - Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans

Now, within the groups, each team will play each other twice, as well as twice against the team in the same row from the other group. Then each team from every group will play against all the other teams in the other group once. That brings it to a total of 14 (8 + 5 + 1) matches for all teams.

In Match 5 of IPL 2022 on Tuesday, Rajasthan Royals clinched a 61 run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Batting first, Royals scored 210 runs and then curtailed Sunrisers to just 149 runs who never got going. But late flourish from Aiden Markram and Washington Sundar ensured there wasn't a massive damage to their net run rate (NRR) that could play a role later.

Here's the list of current Orange and Purple Cap holders:

Orange Cap holder: Faf du Plessis (RCB) - 88 runs

Purple Cap holder: Dwayne Bravo, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammad Shami and Basil Thampi - 3 wickets each
