CSK systematically went about knocking the target down, starting with the opening pair of Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra who got them off to a flier. Gaikwad eventually fell to Yash Dayal, who has come in as an Impact Player substitute for Dinesh Karthik, on 15 off as many. However, there was no respite for RCB as Ravindra continued in the same vein while Ajinkya Rahane seemed to have picked up from where he left off last season. CSK smashed 62 runs in the powerplay for the loss of one wicket. Ravindra ended up falling for 37 off 15 balls while Rahane was later dismissed thanks to a stunner of a catch from Glenn Maxwell on 27 off 19.(PTI)
