Royal Challengers Bengaluru were put to bat first and openers Virat Kohli (62) and Jacob Bethell (55) put up a fantastic stand of 97 runs in just 59 balls. Both batters were aggressive right from the start.

However, CSK made inroads after Bethell's dismissal. RCB's next 60 runs came in 47 balls and they lost five wickets in between. At that point, even a score of 200 looked like a uphill task. However, a 14-ball stay from Romario Shepherd changed it all.

The Guyenese all-rounder helped RCB scored 54 runs in the last two overs, which is the most in IPL history. His freakish innings of 53* off 14 saw RCB hammer 213/5.

Chennai then came out with their best powerplay score of this season, thanks to Ayush Mhatre. The 17-year-old broke loose and played some delightful strokes.

Ravindra Jadeja and Mhatre formed a crucial partnership before the youngster departed for 94. Jadeja, meanwhile, got ruthless in the death overs and ended up with an unbeaten 77.

However, RCB leaked just 51 runs in the last five overs as Yash Dayal kept his cool to defend 15 runs off the last over against MS Dhoni, Jadeja, and Shivam Dube.
