IPL 2023: The high-octane playoffs leg in the ongoing Indian Premier League season is currently occurring in full swing. The recently-concluded league stage of IPL 2023 witnessed as many as 70 fixtures, while the playoffs comprises 4 crucial matches. MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings achieved a triumph over Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1, while Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians came out victorious in the Eliminator.
Rajasthan Royals, the Sanju Samson-led side, had an outing to forget in the exciting competition. Marginally missing out on the playoffs opportunity, Rajasthan ended up at the fifth position in the points ladder with 14 points. RR were runners-up of the last IPL season and the team appeared notably off-colored this time around. Sanju Samson and Co. missed out on the IPL 2023 title prospect as the team now has plenty to ponder over.
Thank you for the memories and everything in between. 💗 pic.twitter.com/e1lWl9lSsa
