CSK vs RCB, IPL 2021 Highlights: Ravindra Jadeja stars in Chennai Super Kings' 69-run win against Virat Kohli's RCB

FOUR! This is just great batting from du Plessis. Puts the pressure on the bowler on the very first ball. Shuffles down the pitch, makes room, and flicks the ball over mid-on for four.

Beaten! Jamieson responds with a cracking delivery that was rising on Faf. The South African batsman looks to play at it but gets beaten.

FOUR! Trading blows, are these two. Short and wide from Jamieson, Faf rocks back and plays an upper cut to third-man region for four.

CSK are 31/0 after 4 overs.

SIX! Faf du Plessis picking up from where he left in the last game. 164 runs and a 95 not-out before this innings. Coming to the delivery, a little shimmy down the track, makes a bit of room, frees his arms, and smacks the ball over long-on. Clears the ball comfortably.

FOUR! Ruturaj now getting in on the act. A premeditated shot. Charges down the track, does Gaikwad, makes room, and lifts the ball over 6'8" Jamieson at mid-off for four.

YORKER! Good comeback. A searing yorker to Gaikwad from Siraj.

A good finish to the over.

CSK are after 21/0 after 3 overs

BEATEN! First ball of his spell, he beats Faf's outside edge. Faf looks to poke the ball on the fourth stump line.

Lovely shape! Gets subtle, yet enough, movement again on the second ball. Faf defends well.

WIDE! Faf takes a single off the third ball and Jamieson drags his first delivery to Ruturaj down the leg side for the first extras of the day.

Full toss but single: Faf is unable to get the flick off his pads past Yuzvendra Chahal at mid-wicket. Batsmen run a quick single.

CSK are after 10/0 after 2 overs

FOUR! What a delightful cover driver from Faf du Plessis. Gaikwad takes a single off the first ball and Siraj's second ball is right in the slot just outside off. Faf obliges and plays a crunching cover drive for four.

CSK are after 6/0 after 1 over

Happy with the team changes?

"This looks a little bit different from the wickets that we have seen at Wankhede. This looks a little more abrasive, less moisture and there might be some grip at the start of the innings. Batting might be challenging to start with. Because it is humid there might be some swing on offer but it won't happen for too long. This pitch might not be as helpful as it has been for the pacers," as presented on Star Sports

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Virat Kohli(c), Devdutt Padikkal, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers(w), Washington Sundar, Daniel Christian, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

We would have bowled first as well. It's a good pitch. We played here the last game as well. Stayed even throughout. We thought that whatever the bowlers can extract could happen in the first innings. So we have stacked up our bowling options. Richardson makes way for Christian, Saini comes in for Shahbaz. The reason why we have won games is because we have executed well. You can't keep thinking about what other teams are doing. We have planned well and executed so far.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Dwayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Imran Tahir

We will bat first. Heat is a factor and the wicket may slow down. It's not about keeping anyone happy, we have tinkered with our batting order a bit. Yes, you'll always complain if you have got enough batting or not. Most we can do is give everyone exposure but nobody is guaranteed of it. It's a day game, so it's not something we're used to as we mostly play evening games. Spinners may come more into play. You have to be critical of your length. Two changes - Moeen not fit, Ngidi out - Bravo and Tahir come in.

Chennai Super Kings win the toss, opt to bat first

Will Virat Kohli win yet another toss? Let's find out

Glenn Maxwell: Right from the start I have had a clear role in the team. It has just been nice that I have been able to get off to a start and suppose continue to keep my form throughout for the first few games. So, if I can continue to play like that we can keep winning a few more games. Just suppose I need to give myself some time. I don't think it changes much as to how I look into an innings
