Commentary

Alright, that's all she had written for us tonight! This has been Abhinav Singh, alongside my good friend and colleague, Pratyush Rohra. Do join us tomorrow at the same time as the IPL caravan continues to roll on with Mumbai Indians locking horns with Punjab Kings. CSK are off the blocks. Can Mumbai do the same? Join us as we take you through all the live-action. Until then, stay safe, stay gold! Goodbye and Goodnight!

Shivam Dube (Man of the Match): Yeah, definitely. Happy that contributed to the first win for the team. I think I am more focused this time. Focusing on the basics. Mahi bhai helped me to improve the game. He said I have a good base and should just focus on being still and just let the skill work in the game. I just wanted to time the ball well and try to maintain my balance. (On comparisons made with Yuvraj Singh) Someone like Yuvi Paa is always a role model. Many people have told me I play like him. (On playing anywhere in the batting order) Definitely, as the situation demands, as the coaches demand if they want me to come up and down the order. I am ready to bat anywhere

Ravindra Jadeja (Chennai Super Kings captain): First of all, this is my first victory as the captain ever. I will dedicate this to my wife. In the last four games, we were not able to cross the line. Special shoutout to Robbie and Shivam for batting the way as they did. Our owners and management do not put pressure on me. They motivate me. I pick the brains of senior players. Obviously, you have Mahi bhai, I always go to him and discuss. You know, it takes time to get into the mould but I am learning every day and getting into the role. We have plenty of experience in the dressing room. It does come into play. We try not to panic and back ourselves and look to play positive cricket. We will look to push as we have got the momentum.

Robin Uthappa (Chennai Super Kings): (On what the team said to Rayudu after his catch) Nothing. We were just as amazed as he was. He said after the game, at least I did something to contribute today. (On plans with Dube) Not much. I just allowed him to come in and get set. He's been hitting the ball well, so I just wanted to give him time to settle in. During Maxwell's third over, I knew I had to take it on. When Hasaranga was bowling and the spinners in general, I was happy to let him take them on. He can hit the huge sixes. I did try to take more of the strike against the fast bowlers though. (On Theekshana) He's amazing and growing in confidence. We'll see a lot more of him as the season goes on. It's difficult to build up the chemistry after the last season and with a new side.A few absences also with Deepak not there. After the last loss, we all spent a lot of time together and got together as a team. That's pretty much it.

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bangalore captain): I think we were pretty good for the first 7-8 overs. In the period from 8-14, we tried to get the spinners into the game but they played really well. Dube and the partnership between the two was exceptional. When you're chasing a big score, you have to have a good start. One of the top 4 has to set it up, so the guys coming in can go aggressively. CSK used their spinners well on a surface that offered a bit of assistance. You see the value Harshal offers. He's got the ability to stop to the game. We really missed him tonight. We lacked that variety you need in the attack. A big miss for us. Hopefully, we can have him back soon again. (Message for the batting unit) Just go on and play. Really impressed by Suyash coming in on debut.

Chennai Super Kings 216/4 beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 193/9 by 23 runs

Shahbaz Ahmed 41(27)| Dinesh Karthik 34(14)| Maheesh Theekshana: 4/33

And CSK are finally up and running. It took them five matches but they are finally in the points column. Remember the last time they lost four on the bounce, they went on to win the tournament. If you are one for these kinds of parallels then CSK certainly have put the right foot ahead to achieve that prospect.

To clinch a mountain, as steep as 217, RCB needed a nitro-fuelled start in the powerplay. However, what they got was anything but that. RCBs talisman and skipper Faf du Plessis succumbed under the pressure and departed in the third over to Maheesh Theekshana.

Skipper Virat Kohli who showed signs of coming into form in the last match departed cheaply, courtesy of a steepler from Mukesh Choudhary. The right-hand pacer only had Kohli's wicket as the highlight of the evening as he dropped as many as two catches and conceded a truckload of runs.

The big show Glenn Maxwell did set the stage ablaze with few biggies but skipper Ravindra Jadeja brought himself into the attack and stopped Maxi in the tracks. He got him for a record seventh time in the tournament.

Speaking of the Sri Lankan mystery spinner, Theekshana had a bountiful evening as he dropped the ball on a string and made the RCB batters dance to his tunes. He signed off with figures reading 4-0-33-4. He could have had a five-fer if Mukesh had held onto the catch of Karthik.

Karthik, possibly in the best form of his life took the game deep but an experienced veteran in Dwayne Bravo ensured that CSK faithful did not have to go through any commotion to reach the end of the match.

In the end, CSK finally got over the line with ease. The platform was laid in the first inning where RCB looked listless in the field. The bowlers had no idea where to bowl and were bereft of any vision. The CSK batters in Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube completely obliterated one of the top teams this season.

In the end, Dube and Robbie both fell short of a well-deserved century but they won't lose a single sweat over it. CSK needed this win and they can finally get on with the tournament, now that the monkey is off their back.

Dwayne Bravo

1 /42

19.6 Dwayne Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, FOUR! Brings out the helicopter shot to end the innings! Matters for nothing though. Full and straight as Siraj makes some room to give it the full flourish with the helicopter to smack this past mid-off for a boundary. Chennai Super Kings finally have their first win the bag! They've beaten RCB by 23 runs to get their first points on the board.

19.5 Dwayne Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, short of a length angled across the right-hander, Siraj throws the kitchen sink at it but only connects with fresh air

19.4 Dwayne Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, FOUR! He's loving this! Slower one in the slot at middle and leg, Siraj makes some room to smack this uppishly past mid-off to find the boundary

19.3 Dwayne Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, executes the yorker outside off-stump as it angles away, nothing Siraj can do about that one

19.2 Dwayne Bravo to Josh Hazlewood, full and wide outside the off-stump, Hazlewood carves it out to sweeper cover for a single

19.2 Dwayne Bravo to Josh Hazlewood, wide.

19.1 Dwayne Bravo to Josh Hazlewood, just evades Jadeja! Full and outside the off-stump, sliced uppishly towards extra cover, just out of Jadeja's reach for a brace

Dwayne Bravo to bowl the final over

RCB push the game to the final over but they need an improbable 36 runs in the remaining six deliveries. Only if RCB had got a decent start in the powerplay, this chase could have turned out so much different. Watch the final passage of action live on Disney+ Hotstar

18.6 Chris Jordan to Mohammed Siraj, FOUR! Siraj wants some runs to get into the act. On the good length outside off, Siraj makes some room to throw his bat at it, slashing it over the covers for a boundary

18.5 Chris Jordan to Josh Hazlewood, into the block hole on the middle stump, shoveled out into the off-side for a single at mid-off

18.4 Chris Jordan to Josh Hazlewood, no trouble finding the full and wide yorker outside the off-stump, Hazlewood backs away and ends up having to reach out for it, no run

18.3 Chris Jordan to Mohammed Siraj, very full around the off-stump line, bunted down to long-off to trot to the other end
