Jadeja also had a decent match and alongside Harbhajan and Tahir, Jadeja ripped through the RCB batting lineup. Jadeja was brilliant on the field as well and it was his brilliant catch that dismissed de Villiers.

He also picked up two wickets on the day. His first one was Colin de Grandhomme and his second one was Umesh Yadav. Colin was caught behind by MS Dhoni while Yadav was bowled. All in all, it was a pretty good all-round performance from the off-spinner.

#4 Ambati Rayudu

There really wasn't much pressure on Rayudu as CSK had to chase only 71 runs. But the wicket was assisting spin and Rayudu managed to see out the main threat in the RCB bowling attack in the form of Chahal.

Rayudu played a sensible knock, one you expect from an experienced campaigner. He didn't take any risks against the spinners and hit an odd boundary or two against the seamers. He ended with a score of 28 runs from 42 balls.
