8 RCB's losing streak against CSK at Chepauk, which they broke on Friday, is the longest streak of defeats for any team against an opponent at a particular venue in the IPL.

50 Margin of CSK's defeat (in terms of runs) on Friday is the biggest for them in Chennai. CSK lost by a margin of 50-plus runs only twice before - 60 against MI in 2013 and 54 against PBKS in 2022.
11.80 Combined economy rate of Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin across the five overs they bowled on Friday. It is the fifth-worst in a T20 where they collectively bowled five or more overs.

4699 Runs scored by MS Dhoni in the IPL while playing for the CSK. He is now the franchise's leading run-getter in the IPL, surpassing Suresh Raina's 4687 runs.
