The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has crossed the half-way stage and the fourth week of the 16th season has also completed. Like the previous weeks, the past 7 days also offered entertainment to fans with several thrillers and nail biting matches.
The Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) played the last match of the fourth week, which saw them facing a massive loss at their home ground in Mohali against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Following the completion of the fourth week, Rajasthan Royals (RR) have reclaimed the top spot with 5 wins out of 8 matches. The KL Rahul-led Lucknow are at the second position with 5 triumphs out of 8 fixtures but with a lesser net run rate than table toppers Rajasthan.
Just like the third week, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Faf du Plessis and teammate Mohammed Siraj have kept their Orange and Purple Cap after the fourth week.
