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.
On Saturday, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets inspired by Abhishek Sharma’s 75 to earn their first points this season. In the second match on Saturday, Anuj Rawat (66) and Virat Kohli (48) took RCB over the finish line against MI, who suffered their fourth straight defeat to lie ninth in the points table.
Here’s the list of current Orange and Purple Cap holders:
Orange Cap holder: Jos Buttler (RR) – 205 runs
Purple Cap holder: Umesh Yadav (KKR) – 9 wickets
