The Super Giants were cruising to a victory before Moeen rattled their party with 3 wickets. With, there have been big shifts and new entrants in the purple cap and orange cap tables. Also, Rajasthan Royals have now moved to the top of the points table of TATA IPL 2023:

| 6 | Nicholas Pooran | 68 | Delhi Capitals | 2 |
Ruturaj Gaikwad has shown signs of the IPL 2021 season. He is looking set to grab the orange cap. His game is not the one from TATA IPL 2022 where he held back. He has chosen a more attacking approach in TATA IPL 2023. He goes behind the bowlers from ball 1. With Devon Conway, a more technical batter to his aid, he has the safety net in case he fails. In the game against the Super Giants, his drives were classic. He played the attacking game but in a technical manner. He timed the ball well and pushed it into the gaps.
Updated Purple Cap Table After CSK VS LSG:
| Position | Player Name | Wickets Taken | Team | Matches Played |
| 1 | Mark Wood | 8 | Lucknow Super Giants | 2 |
| 2 | Ravi Bishnoi | 5 | Lucknow Super Giants | 2 |
| 3 | Yuzvendra Chahal | 4 | Rajasthan Royals | 1 |
| 4 | Moeen Ali | 4 | Chennai Super Kings | 2 |
| 5 | Arshdeep Singh | 3 | Punjab Kings | 1 |
| 3 | Rajvardhan Hagargekar | 3 | Chennai Super Kings | 2 |
| 4 | Avesh Khan | 3 | Lucknow Super Giants | 2 |
Mark Wood currently leads the wicket-takers list. He was not a part of the TATA IPL 2022 as he was out due to an injury. With that being said, his addition to the Lucknow Super Giants is invaluable. He bowls the crucial overs. He bowls a few in the powerplay and the others in the middle. His express pace is tough to deal with. Wood is not the typical variation bowler with slower balls and cutters, he is more of an enforcer bowler. He scares the batters with sheer pace. He has currently scalped 8 wickets in TATA IPL 2023. His 5-wicket haul against the Delhi Capitals in TATA IPL 2023 was just too good.
