But their opening stand was broken in the ninth over as RCB captain Virat Kohli took a stunning diving catch as Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed Gaikwad. In the next over, Glenn Maxwell gave RCB their second success with the ball as Navdeep Saini completed the catch to get du Plessis out.
CSK beat RCB Highlights – IPL 2021: Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayudu then joined forces and put up a quickfire 47-run stand to take CSK close to 120. However, the two departed in the space of 15 runs as Harshal Patel struck at the either side of the strategic time out.
Suresh Raina and CSK skipper MS Dhoni then added an unbroken 24-run stand and took the team home.

CSK beat RCB Highlights – IPL 2021: Earlier, after a sandstorm delayed the proceedings, CSK put RCB into bat. Kohli set the ball rolling for RCB as he creamed two fours on the first two deliveries he faced. Devdutt Padikkal struck his first four on the final ball of the first over.
The two hit a four each in the third over and then followed it up with a six each over the course of the next two overs before RCB moved to 55/0 at the end of the powerplay.
Padikkal brought up his sixth IPL fifty in the 12th over as the pair completed a superb 100-run stand. In the next over, RCB captain moved past fifty.

But CSK started to pull things back as Bravo broke the opening stand, dismissing Kohli for 53 as Ravindra Jadeja took the catch in the deep. While AB de Villiers, who replaced Kohli in the middle, creamed a six in the 16th over, Shardul Thakur’s twin strikes in the 17th over saw the back of ABD and Padikkal, who got out after scoring a breezy 70.
CSK continued to tighten the screws – with Bravo, who picked three wickets, conceding just 24 runs, leading the charge – and limited RCB to 156/6.

CSK beat RCB Highlights – IPL 2021: Both team captains at the toss
Dhoni: We’ll bowl first. There are a few wet patches, but it has dried out slightly. It’s a small ground and there was dew the last time we played. Same team. It was an incredible team effort. To reach around 160, it was a special performance by the bat. The bowlers needed get into action and we kept getting wickets. We played really well to get back in. He (Gaekwad) has been incredible, he plays authentic cricket shots. I just hopes he keeps doing the same.
Kohli: The wicket looks nice and hard. Don’t think it’ll change a lot. A few more runs would be nice. It’s a wake-up call, you still have to come out here and gain momentum again. We have brought in Navdeep Saini for Sachin Baby. We needed more pace in the middle overs. Kyle Jamieson misses out and Tim David replaces him. He makes his debut for RCB, he’s a power player in the lower middle-order, plays spin well and he’s a strong lad.
