The win was set up earlier by Virat Kohli (62) and Jacob Bethell (55) who were absolutely superb in the powerplay and first 10 overs. Later on, CSK did mount a comeback and it seemed RCB would fall short of the 200-run mark but then the five-time champions were hit by the Romario Shepherd storm. The West Indies smashed 53 runs off just 14 balls, a record knock that took RCB to 213/5. In response, young CSK openers started pretty well and it was Ayush Mhatre (94) who stole the show with his strokeplay at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He and Ravindra Jadeja (77) kept CSK on top for a good part of the game but the five-time champions fell short in the end by just two runs. For RCB, it was Lungi Ngidi (3/30) who took three wickets while Yash Dayal (1/41) and Krunal Pandya (1/24) got one each. RCB will take a lot of confidence from this win as they head into their next match, against Lucknow Super Giants on May 9. CSK, on the other hand, will look to secure two points and play for pride when they face defending champions KKR on May 7.
OUT! Yash Dayal has dismissed MS Dhoni! Deja vu from last year when Yash Dayal had picked up the wicket of the CSK great! This is big blow for CSK! MS Dhoni lbw b Yash Dayal 12(8)
Oh no! Virat Kohli out of all people, has dropped Ravindra Jadeja's catch! The ball came to him flat and he seemed to get his eyes off the ball for a while which ended in the catch being dropped. Worse, it went for a four!

OUT! Lungi Ngidi dismisses Dewald Brevis and he has two wickets in two balls! Brevis was hit on his pads and he took time in opting for the DRS. However, Ravi Shastri on comms mentioned that he has run out of time and hence he has to walk back! What a twist! Dewald Brevis lbw b Lungi Ngidi 0(1)
OUT! Lungi Ngidi strikes and he has dismissed the young Ayush Mhatre! The CSK youngster wanted to play the big shot but mistimed it and Krunal Pandya did the rest as he took a simple catch.

Chennai Super Kings are in control and at this rate, will chase down this total! To make matters worse, Lungi Ngidi dropped Ravindra Jadeja's simple catch and the hosts now need to turn things around to avoid another home loss!
FIFTY for Ravindra Jadeja and it has come off 29 balls! The senior CSK star has stepped up when his team has needed him to and he will ideally want to finish off the game for his side here.
Chennai Super Kings have reached the 150-run mark and now need 64 runs from here on to win the match, with six overs left. Can CSK chase it down or would RCB bounce back with wickets? At the moment, both Ayush Mhatre and Ravindra Jadeja are batting superbly well.
Ayush Mhatre and Ravindra Jadeja have kept CSK in control and RCB might worry a bit from here on. CSK need 87 runs off 48 balls and we are in for a great finish here.
