IPL 2026 Standings Today: Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap After LSG vs RR

Rajasthan Royals successfully defended 159 in a low-scoring contest, bowling out Lucknow Super Giants for 119 to seal a 40-run win. The victory helped RR bounce back from their defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders and climb to second place in the standings, pushing Sunrisers Hyderabad to third and Royal Challengers Bengaluru to fourth.

Lucknow Super Giants, meanwhile, sit in ninth place with just 4 points from 7 matches. Their net run rate of -1.277 remains a major concern and will be hard to recover unless they register convincing wins soon. Even bottom-placed Kolkata Knight Riders currently have a superior NRR.
