Moeen Ali (23) and Ambati Rayudu (32) then steadied CSK's chase and took them close to the target. Current “Purple Cap” holder Harshal Patel picked both their wickets as RCB eyed a late comeback. However, Suresh Raina (17) and Dhoni (11*) saw the team over the line. At the end of the first innings, the Chennai Super Kings were the happier side. Despite Virat Kohli (53) and Devdutt Padikkal (70) put on 111 runs for the opening stand and took RCB to 90/0 after 10 overs, RCB could manage to post 156/6 in 20 overs.
