So near yet so far as LSG falter in Eliminator once again
The overseas contingent led the way, and Krunal showed his captaincy wares in Rahul's absence, but Hooda's poor form didn't help

The highlights
- LSG racked up 257 for 5 - the second-highest in the history of IPL - in a record-tumbling innings against Punjab Kings in Mohali. Only two of the 20 overs did not feature a boundary.
- The 31 runs ransacked by Pooran and Stoinis off Abhishek in the 16th over against Sunrisers were the joint-most in an over in IPL 2023.
- Pooran's 15-ball fifty against RCB is the joint-third-fastest in the IPL.
