216 is a tall score, irrespective of how the conditions turn out in the second innings. CSK have failed to defend a 200-plus score already this season. Will the RCB batting brigade turn up and chase this down? Shashank is waiting for the reply to begin.
"It was about keeping it simple nothing special. Hitting in straight lines. I am used to this ground. Today it is dry and no dew yet, says Shivam Dube after his blitzkrieg. This should be good news for CSK, especially the spinners.
9:18pm What an innings this was! 17 sixes in the innings, the most for CSK in an IPL game. It was a show put up by Uthappa and Dube after they lost two early wickets with not much on the board. CSK have bossed contests against RCB and their old self turned up today so far, despite having lost four matches on the bounce. Both Uthappa and Dube missed out on their tons but you'd imagine CSK have enough on the board.
Dube on 94. Remember Gaikwad getting his ton last year with a six off the last ball. Encore from Dube this time? Dhoni has a quiet word.
