Riding on a sensational knock from skipper Virat Kohli and disciplined bowling performance, Royal Challengers Bangalore thrashed Chennai Super Kings by 37 runs to register their first victory of Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

Ambati Rayudu tried to form a substantial partnership with N Jagadeesan, but the scoring rate was always on the lower side. The likes of MS Dhoni, Sam Curran and Dwayne Bravo also failed to make an impact as CSK were restricted to 132/8. Chris Morris was the pick of the RCB bowlers with three wickets while Washington Sundar took two wickets. CSK vs RCB Highlights IPL 2020.
