IPL 2022 has in store new teams, changed squad line-ups and a different format. But that will not necessarily impact the point system.
This year the format is going to be a little different, wherein the 10 teams will be split into two groups - Group A and B.
Group A - Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants
Group B - Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans
Now, within the groups, each team will play each other twice, as well as twice against the team in the same row from the other group. Then each team from every group will play against all the other teams in the other group once. That brings it to a total of 14 (8 + 5 + 1) matches for all teams.
On Monday, PBKS beat CSK by 11 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to move to sixth position in the table.
Here's the list of current Orange and Purple Cap holders:
Orange Cap holder: Jos Buttler (RR) - 491 runs
Purple Cap holder: Yuzvendra Chahal (RR) - 18 wickets

Punjab Kings' all-rounder Rishi Dhawan is in the spotlight for the safety shield that he wore while bowling in his comeback game against Chennai Super Kings. Dhawan missed out on the last five seasons and was bought at this year's mega auction for Rs 55 lakh.
It seems Dhawan donned the safety shield as he recently underwent nose surgery. He was injured while playing for the Ranji Trophy.
Good on Rishi Dhawan to be wearing a face shield. Was hit on the face by a ball on his follow through during the second round of Ranji Trophy. Had to be taken to hospital for scans.

It is for the same reason that he has missed his initial few matches.
Ahead of the mega clash, Punjab Kings posted a video on their social media account where Dhawan talked about his injury and the comeback.
What's more dangerous than a lion? . #SherSquad, tune in to this video to find out the reason behind @rishid100's initial absence & how he is all set for a roaring comeback now #SaddaPunjab #PunjabKings #IPL2022 #ਸਾਡਾਪੰਜਾਬ #RishiDhawan pic.twitter.com/mnKKULSSrz

“It was disheartening when I got injured in the Ranji Trophy and I am finally making an IPL comeback after 4 years. My surgery ruled me out of the first four matches, but I’m totally fine and available for selection now. I’ve been training hard and I hope to make a strong comeback,” he announced in the video.
“The phase of injury was a low one for me because as I’d worked so hard to make a comeback and I finally got a breakthrough in IPL after four years. I performed well in domestic cricket. I continuously tried for three-four years to make a comeback so I was a little scared wondering whether I’d miss out on playing due to my injury." he added.
Dhawan dismissed an in-form Shivam Dube for 8 during the second over of his comeback match while defending 187.
Earlier, CSK captain Ravindra Jadeja had won the toss and elected to bowl at first.
Shikhar Dhawan scored the second half-ton of the season to power Punjab Kings to 187 for 4 in 20 overs. The 36-year-old left-hand batter anchored the innings with a brilliant 88 (not out) and combined with Sri Lankan Bhanuka Rajapaksa (42) for a 110-run stand for the second wicket from 11.3 overs after captain Mayank Agarwal’s early dismissal.
