9.15pm A half-century from Rajat Patidar has helped RCB get close to 200 after Phil Salt's blisteringly quick start, that was brought to an end by quicker hands from MS Dhoni. Noor finishes with three wickets to continue impressing at the Chepauk. But Patidar's knock, aided by cameos from Padikkal, Jitesh, and a finishing assault from Tim David see RCB get to a score they won't be too unhappy with, despite Kohli strugging in a 30-ball 31. Will CSK make it two home wins in two in IPL 2025? Join Ekanth shortly to find out.
Noor Ahmad: "Truly grateful for the Purple Cap. I hope I keep it till the end of the tournament. Wicket was better today, I think we bowled well and hope to chase down the target. There wasn't that much turn today but I just wanted to bowl a bit of back-of-length delivery. I feel lucky to have MS behind the stumps. [On the score] The wicket looks better. I think we need a good start and we can chase it. [On getting Kohli] Of course, yeah, everyone will enjoy it."
Can Curran keep this under 200? Over the wicket now
