  CSK vs RCB Live Score Updates: Chennai Super Kings opt to bowl

  Ruturaj Gaikwad: We are going to bowl first. I think it will play slightly better than the last game. So far there hasn't been any dew, we don't know when the dew will arrive and it is not in our control. There are areas; we were sitting behind in the field and would like to be more aggressive, batting wise we can be more clinical. We have just got one change - Pathirana comes back for Ellis.

  Rajat Patidar: We had decided to bowl first. It will not make much difference, the surface looks hard, we will try to put up a total and keep them under pressure. The boys did well in the last game. We have to be at our best in every game and we will try to do that today also. The bowling unit after 13 overs.. the way they came back was amazing to see, the intent shown by the batting side was good to see. It is one of the biggest games in the league because of the fans it makes it fun and exciting. One change - Bhuvi comes in for Rasikh.

  CSK vs RCB Live Score Updates: 

  In the opening match here, spinners delivered 25 out of the 40 overs, with 14 of those in the second innings. They didn’t get a ton of help, but just enough to make a difference. It's worth noting that teams still prefer to chase, as seven of the last ten games played here have been won by teams batting second, including four out of the last five.

  CSK vs RCB Live Score Updates: 

  Shivam Dube has quite the track record against RCB, racking up 234 runs at an impressive strike rate of 158.11. Teams have consistently opted for short and fast deliveries against him. Last year, RCB had a bit of a mixed bag. While Alzarri Joseph struggled with that strategy in Chennai, RCB successfully kept Dube in check during the classic at Chinnaswamy. In a rather unusual 15-ball innings, he could only muster three runs off nine balls against Lockie Ferguson and Cam Green before eventually succumbing to a short ball, ending up with just 7 runs.
