11:50pm That's all from Shashank, Venkat and me, Sudarshanan, from this game. CSK get their first points and extend their superior record against RCB, who just slip a bit in the points table. Tomorrow, another winless side in Mumbai Indians will take on Punjab Kings. Do join us for our coverage then. Till the next time, take care, stay safe.

Player of the match Shivam Dube: We were looking for the first win and I am happy to contribute. I am more focused this time on my basics. I spoke to the seniors and Mahi bhai also helped me. He said let your skill take care. I wanted to time the ball well and stay still and maintain my balance. Yuvi pa is always a role model for a left-hander. Many people told me that I bat like him. As the situation and captain and coach tell me, I am ready to bat anywhere.

Ravindra Jadeja: First of all this is the first victory as captain and I would like to dedicate it to my wife. This time as a team we came good. The batting unit did a good job. Robbie and Shivam batted brilliantly and the bowlers did their job. Our owners and management don't put pressure on me. As a captain I still pick the seniors' brain. Of course, Mahi bhai is there. I am still learning and each game I'll try to get better. We have plenty of experience in the dressing room. It comes into play. We don't panic early and try to keep calm and back ourselves.

Robin Uthappa: Had to do something to contribute today. Not much conversation with Dube. He's been hitting the ball well. I thought I'll rotate the strike and thought when Maxwell came on in the third over, that was the time to take him on. Just made sense at that point for me to take on offspinner and when Hasaranga was bowling, i thought i'd feed Dube the strike because he is a big striker. Theekshana is bowling well and coming into his own. We'll see a lot more as the season progresses. It's difficult to build chemistry after a season like last year and we have a very new side. After the last loss, we spent a lot of time together and spent time together and got close

11.26pm How are you feeling, CSK fans? Happy with the win or disappointed a touch with the margin of victory? Given the position they were in coming into the game, they would gladly take two points but kudos to RCB and the manner in which they bounced back. At 50 for 4, they were staring at a massive loss, but Prabhudessai, Shahbaz and Karthik all contributed massively to reduce the margin to a mere 23 runs.

Faf du Plessis: First 7-8 overs were pretty good, then there was a period from 8-14 where Dube took the spinners on. That period, whatever we tried didn't work. In order to chase down such a big score, you need one of the first four to set the foundation. We didn't have that. CSK used their spinners wel on a pitch that had some grip. The way we came back was credit to the depth. You see the value of Harshal, and what he offers. He has the ability to stop the game. We missed that tonight, we had a similar tone to the bowling. We lacked the variety we needed in our attack. Hopefully we can have him soon again. Impressed with the way Prabhudessai played the way he did on debut.

Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, FOUR, shovelled down the ground for four! These runs have been such a boon for RCB at the back end. Went for a yorker, misses his length and Siraj, who was waiting deep inside the crease, gave it a proper wallop to beat mid-off. CSK raise their first win of IPL 2022
